There is nothing sexual about spanking a child's behind when they have been disobedient. It is obvious that someone has abused you or you have some problem with your sexuality. Do you have any children ? If so , how do you punish them? I agree that they should not be spanked for everything they do . I do believe in talking to them first , however, when that does not work it is time for other means of punishment. Do you think that it is a sexual act when a teacher has to paddle a child ?

On 9/18/09 I saw a horned devil walking across the walk way in our back yard. It was about 5" long and much bigger than any caterpillar I had seen. My wife came out with only a towel on when I said "come quick". We have an ash and walnut tree in the yard. It must have been looking for a place to burrow before changing. We live in Philadelphia.

We found a huge orange fuzzy moth while on vacation in Wildwood, NJ in July. It was sitting on our balcony, alive, but not moving much. how surprising to know the caterpillar is sooo big. Thank goodness we didn"t stumble across it in it's "devil" phase.

I found one of these just north of Houston, TX(in conroe). It was about 6 inches long.. Never seen anything like it... It is now in an aquarium... It shrunk to about half it's size and went under the dirt.... It's probably in it's cocoon now...

Our's too emitted a red looking goop in the cup we put him in. The local ag. center said to put him in a container with soft soil and it would
burrow down in the soil. As soon as my husband
put him on top of soil it quickly burrowed down! We are hoping to have a Regal Moth later!

Forgot to mention it was in Rockville, Maryland.
Are these things new to the area or just very rare?

Mike Sansone said: [ Regarding Hickory Horned Devil ]

I am a Locomotive Engineer and this afternoon, 9-15-09 we had one of these "fall" out of the sky and hit the front windshield on the locomotive. I'm guessing he fell out of a tree.When it hit, there was a large amount of goop that came out of him but he landed on the nose of the cab and we were able to stop and pick him up. Thought we discovered a new species for a minute :). Brought it home to show my son before it dies but it won't last long, it's covered in I guess what is blood and has a large bulge on the side now. Pretty crazy looking creature though.

We found one on 9/14/2009 in Hamilton,NJ. It is very freaky and with two boys that love to catch bug and study them they WILL not even look at it long! We too
will be taking it to school! To freak out others - hee hee.

We found one in South River, NJ 9/13/09 at our local baseball field. Freaked me out when I almost stepped on it in the grass. My 7 year old son brought it home to show his science teacher tomorrow. Very scary when you just happen upon it!!

Xavier Goines said: [ Regarding Hickory Horned Devil ]

We live in Johnson City, TN. We found one of these in our front yard today (9-12-09). I was wondering if anyone knows if you can keep one of these and watch it change into a moth? My mom is a science teacher and we would love to put soil in a fish tank and watch it do it's thing. Does any one know if this will work?

Me too! Just found one of these this afternoon in Rock Creek Park while going for a bike ride. Moved the big guy back to the grass & trees since he/she was about to get flattend by a car tire.... What a cool creature; truly the highlight of my day.
