I think its the South American brain eating caterpiller. They crawl into your ear and lay egg's, than when they hatch the grubs eat your brain on the way out.

At least you didn't have this crawling on your neck...I suspect it is fairly lethal.

You're going to get a small little box with holes punched in it in the mail in a day or so, bring it inside, open it and just walk away for awhile.

Geeze Johnhef! What did you do to elicit all the love?

I've seen those before...I'm thinking it's some type of moth...

Stick it in a jar, pop a few holes in the top, toss in a variety of leaves and such and see what happens in a few days/weeks/months...

Earwigs are out of season at this point...at least the catepillar stages are...you'd be pummeled by the larval stages instead I think...

Where's Botnst when you really need him?

Or, "Where's Eddie? He eats these things, doesn't he?"
