India?

India?

Wait, I always have to look up geographic names in English ...

... Corsica, hence France.

Ah, in the Mediterranean. Not even close to India (where cows are revered, I believe).

Looks more like calves.

Just lovely!

Nearly stepped on this little fellow (lady?) this morning. I gently encouraged it away from the middle of the footpath after taking the photo.

I like these little ciona guys.



The mouth is at the top.
The basket-like structure below it is the pharynx with gill slits used for filter feeding. This is equivalent to the vertebrate pharynx gill slits in vertebrates (embryonic structures in some vertebrates, like us).

"Yeah, I ate the whole pan of lasagna. What're you gonna do about it?"

Little friend we found at the local hardware store…

Interesting! It looks like a tomato horned work on italian parsley. But no horn present or seen on the worm.

Swallowtail.

 

[Flyboy]

Bystander is correct. Swallowtail. My girlfriend and I found one last year the same way at the same store and took it home, and got an enclosure for it. Turned out to be a female Black Swallowtail.

Follow-up on the caterpillar…

We have new neighbors across the street.

It looks a bit like the little curious one could at least call the fire department as soon as she gets to the top.

The kind of creature which implies the involvement of some evil wizards (in bad mood)

This is genuinely meme worthy material

"Are you messing with me? Nobody's messing with me!"

Did it crawl inside a pillow or something?

 

[symbolipoint]

I am curious just how those beads were removed from the cat. Vacuum cleaner? Mechanical wipe? Bathe & Scoop?

I guess it was a box, a postal parcel that contained something fragile. I remember those tiny styrofoam balls in parcels.

I asked myself the same question. It must have been a nightmare.

Beanbag chair/lounger.

Beanbag chair/lounger.

That was my thought too from the size. You can buy big bales of the stuff for refilling them, which come in thin plastic bags that wouldn't stand up to claws for a second.

As for getting it off, my first thought is that it's held on by static. I'd think trying some careful stroking with a bundle of well-earthed wires would be worth a try.

Just a slightly wet sponge does the trick.
And, for a cat that's just a childhood kittenhood nostalgia.

 

[fresh_42]

A box is seen in the picture. Occam's razor says to me that the cat jumped in it. Our bean bags here are filled with beans, not styrofoam balls, many parcels, however, are.

My brain was so primed that you were going to say 'cats' here...
