I’ve always been a leg man.

OK, break a leg.

The legs of caterpillars (usually 16 = 8 pairs) are not all the same:

The first 3 pairs (6 legs) are jointed and are their “true legs” that they will “retain” as adult insects.

The other “legs”, called prolegs, (usually 5 pairs = 10) are unjointed and are used primarily for grasping. They are not retained as the caterpillar goes through metamorphosis to an adult butterfly or moth.

Must be a real pain when it becomes time to clip nails.

Thank you for today’s laugh out loud.

lol!!!

It looks like a string of sweet peas with a mouth.

Just kickin’ it!

Is it just me or does that look like a platoon of green M&M’s headed off for where ever M&M’s go as platoons?

When he becomes a moth, he wants to leave a LEGacy.

Only maybe distantly related to the comic, but recently I was thinking about how drones are getting insect-size small. What if a bird sees this drone and decides to eat it? Are these drones going to have enough room for some sort of protection against this?

Walking to a gym should be enough leg work for a caterpillar, maybe the gym is three hours, by caterpillar feet, away.

No, the 6 hours is to change from my street shoes into my sneakers and lace all of them up.

Six hours? It will take him five-and-a-half to tie his gym shoes.
