Hey moms, It’s such an easy trick, and it doesn’t cost you anything. You’ve probably long tried it already.

Posted on 7. August 202110. August 2021 by lyoness

When running around on the playground, Lyons Cub stumbled upon something extraordinary–well, for a little boy: a lime hawk moth caterpillar! No, it doesn’t sting with its blue horn.
