ok i flashed it, there's not really anything in the shot to give it a sense of scale or size, but i'ts definitely not mechanical, if you could come up with a form of fluid and accurate locomotion for something that size you would be a god in the field of robotics, it was very smooth on flash, not jumpy at all, I've seen some similar in virginia and tennesee, but they were black, the more ornate caterpillars like that are usually a breed of moth as opposed to butterflies, I wish I still had the pics of the black ones swarming across the road, my truck was so heavy that some of the tire/wheel shops around here couldn't pick it up, and it still slid sideways as i plowed through them on the mountain roads

if I could smell it I would have known that, it seems so obvious now

It's a tribble, lol. Anyways, had it been of any great importance, it probably would have been all over the news.
Bugs can't get big because they don't have lungs, but apart from that I don't think it's real. It's just one of those results of cg competitions.
It looks to me like one of those little bugs you see through a microscope, like a dust mite or something. This is even more evident because they never give you a scale of it's size.kr@cker wrote:

bugs can't get big because they dont have a skeletal system. without gravity, they would probably be enormous.
yeh, if they gave us summut to scale it agaisnt then that wud be better.
but wtf?
that thing was weird.

that thing it crawls next to kinda looks like a candle, but you still don't know how bign the candle is, the black ones I saw were about the size of my thumb, the whole thing, from the tip to where it joins the wrist
Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggggghhhhhh
This could be a real catepillar in a movie edited to make it look bigger.
the "thing" it is crawling by appears to me to be an umbrella, with grommet for a patio table, so if it is, the bug would be an inch to an inch and a half long.
lol, sure einstein.Snowmanimal wrote:
