Ligia Cabus Posted March 15, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) March 14, 2014 ARGENTINA. In the city of Campo Gallo, Department of Copo, province of Santiago del Estero, dwellers are frightened by the apparition of strange creatures, invertebrates unknown that seem to combine features of worm and snake.

ChrLzs Posted March 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) Lots of caterpillars have snake camo, just search on "caterpillar snake head".

Ligia Cabus Posted March 16, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I appreciate the information. I believe biologists of city at Argentina fled from the school. I still prefer not meet personally these worms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Still Waters Posted March 16, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I still prefer not meet personally these worms... They are caterpillars - http://translate.goo...T3NFa330IQyJcIw 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaturtlehorsesnake Posted March 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 17, 2014 the key thing (apart from checking out still waters link) is to look at the shape and the legs. see those knobbly bits on the underside? those are the legs, and they are definitely the legs of a caterpillar. i still think the "horrifying" description isn't fair. they're adorable! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
