It found me
Sitting in the park in Bromley, enjoying a summer's day and watching young Bromleynians hurl rocks at the pigeons. I look down at my leg. On it was what appeared to be a caterpillar. But this wasn't a normal caterpillar; it had a blue face and a fucking huge spike coming out the top of it's head.

Being the macho man that I am I leapt up in the air screaming like a girl and the creepy crawly vanished into the undergrowth.

For days afterwards I was consumed by wondering what the hell was crawling up my leg that day. I decided to use the interweb for a visual dictionary of caterpillars on the off chance I might be able to identify it. By sheer luck I spotted it.

It was a moth larvae for a moth that is only found in Portugal.

And he came all the way over here to sit on my lap. Bless him.

I see a 'Silence of the Lambs/Madelleine McCann' connection here.

Hmmm...
This sounds like a case for me.

I found a similar-looking thing in France once.

Bromley
I might start a Bromley B3tards sub group.

I've had some seriously intimidating insects crawl on me before - I'd probably have reacted in exactly the same way. :/

It was like that but mine had a spike coming out of his head. Maybe mine was a Kaiser sympathiser. I can't find the original site since this was about 8 years ago I saw this thing.
