This fella is a Mopane worm and we are finding lots of them in the yard these days. The interesting thing about these LARGE, spikey, caterpillars is that the locals EAT them! Fried in oil, I am told they taste a lot like termites. Then, when I naively ask what termites taste like they say "Like salted peanuts, only mushier."
I think I will save them for the locals thank you very much.
