osie Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi AllI went picking some mint and on the end of one of the mint leaves was a little creature about 2cm long and very think like a hair. It looked just like those caterpiilars that hang from threads from trees. The difference was that it had an enormous mouth that had just taken a chunk out of the mint leaf. The head/jaws looked just like a snake.osie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osie Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi ChrisIf the front bit is a head then maybe but it did not have legs or colouring.. it was all a pale green. Also, it was not segmented... just a straight body.Thinking about it.. maybe not... as that one looks like a stick with legs and a round head.. This one was a pale green stick with large jawsosie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
