It's a Venezuelan caterpillar!

Candy buttons? When I was of the age to covet them (circa 1962) they were called "measles".

Is it just me, or is there a themeatic visual similarity between this and the Norms shot?

In one of my favorite kids' books, "Then There Were Five," this caterpillar is described as "the big job with all the buttons." Now I see why.

Spectacular find.

Maybe I'm dating myself, but it looks rather like someone with all those old fashioned styling salon hair curlers of different sizes (hence colours)helmeting their head.
