Have you ever wondered what those stubby legs look like up close? I accidentally captured the pseudopods today in a photograph. This is a close-up photograph of the pseudopods on a monarch caterpillar. The sticky false feet help the caterpillar maneuver around on its food [host plant] and helps keep it from falling off the plant.

That is a great picture! I wish I had sticky pseudopods so I could walk upside down.
Donna Young says
Me too. =D Imagine all the light bulb changing and cobweb dusting that could be done.
On a being normal day, I’d kick myself in the face trying to get my boots off if I had sticky pseudopods. =o
