the caterpillers?
they eat the leaves of the vine, which [if it gets bad enough] kills the vine. they mostly come around in winter time though (which isn't very cold here in florida), but they look like this [link]
but they turn into BEAUTIFUL butterflys... [link]
they're just so damn annoying as caterpillers.

Where did you find it? =O

At the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum. I guess it's native to the Sonora Desert? o_O

It's in the desert?! This just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
And just curious: the museum has live plants?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep, apparently it is? o_O
And it's not really a museum museum. It's really awesome actually: they have live plants and animals. They are just native to the Sonora Desert. The exhibits are amazing, they are so natural, with hardly any bars to have to look through.

Wow, that sounds fantastic. Is it an indoor museum? And where is it? I might just have to beg my parents to take me there! ='D
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ It is! It's in Tucson, Arizona... it's mostly an outdoor museum (so I suggest probably going during Spring or Fall, Summer is brutal. o.o)
Here's the site for it, btw: [link]

Hmm, Arizona. My aunt used to live there, so maybe we could take a convenient detour?! 
It sounds so cool though, you're lucky to have been there!

^^ Yeah, I do hope to go back when it's not as warm. I mean, we ended up having to wake up at like 6am and get there by 7:30 to see any of the cats actually awake. o.o They were asleep by 8:30 am.

Wow, really? Forgive my lack of knowledge, but are wild cats that nocturnal? My experience is pretty much limited to house cats. =O
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, most wild cats are nocturnal, though there are some that are diurnal (I believe like cheetahs). They have really excellent night vision (including house cats.
But since they sleep most of the day (around 19 or so hours), they aren't really anything xP
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, haha, that's true!
I guess even house cats sleep most of the day away.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And, at this point most of the night as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
If I were an animal, I would definitely be a cat. I could just sleep all day and people would love me anyway. xDDDD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Same here. Wait, I do that anyway... o.o lol!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahaha, I used to do that during the summer, but school has stolen my sleep time.

How're you doing lately? (I haven't heard or seen updates from you in a while) Is work getting you down? D:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How are you? I haven't talked to you in forever!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I know just what you mean. I barely have any free time now to do personal art anymore, and I can hardly wait until the next day off!!! Dx
I hope you aren't too stressed: if you really need to, take a break! School isn't worth your health. Stay happy and healthy! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww, yeah. :/
Thanks!
Hope you are doing ok. ^^

That's great to hear! Ahaha, I'm glad. ^o^!
I guess that's a good motivation for me to get back on track too.
