The Animal I Most Definitely Do Not Want To Be.

     I don't exactly know what animal I would want to be, but I do know what animal I most definitely do not want to be. That animal would be a caterpillar. Besides the fact that they are gross, and creepy, and have like a million legs on their body, they are super dangerous. I recently learned that as a defence mechanism, caterpillars have developed the ability to shoot acid, and some have whip like organs that they wiggle to frighten away flies. They also have detachable tips called setae that will lodge in skin or mucus membrane. Some caterpillars even regurgitate acidic digestive juices to attack predators. Not all caterpillars are nice little herbivores. Some of them feed on eggs. The most dangerous caterpillars are red, black, and yellow striped. Some hairs on caterpillars are venomous and when they come in contact with humans serious injuries such as,  urticarial dermatitis, atopic asthma to osteochondritis, consumption coagulopathy, renal failure, and intracerebral hemorrhage. However, skin rashes are most common. It is pretty obvious that these insects have the ability to seriously harm and/or kill people. It is strongly advised to stay away from them to protect yourself from any harm that could be caused from these horrid creatures. These are just a few reason why I would most definitely not want to be a caterpillar.
