Get ready for DOUBLE the sting as Coyote takes on two caterpillar contenders in this episode! First up, the giant cecropia moth caterpillar with its bristling spiked defense. Then, the tiny but fierce saddleback caterpillar steps up to the challenge. Coyote puts their stings to the test, comparing the pain and reactions from both using the Caterpillar Sting Pain Index. Which will pack the bigger punch? Tune in to find out and witness the intense (and educational!) faceoff between these two bristly creatures.


Many thanks to KC Clark and Diane Brooks, our Ohio caterpillar friends, for their work with these amazing creatures.
