Photo is from the ones I already very carefully, removed from my lemon tree. These are saddleback slug catapillars.

Went to get the last stalk of corn, and they are all over the leaves in this bed. I didnt realize and one brushed my face! It hurts!

Aside from the minor panic attack, that I was about to have to call an ambulance, I think I'll be okay? It def hurts. I did like the internet said and took sticky tape to the area and washed it with soap and water.

They are everywhere in my garden, making me want to not go near it.

I dont think the mantis can eat them for me. Has anyone ever dealt with this?
