I found a green Caterpillar in my basement...?

Question

and it was about 1 1/2 inches long! GROSS! It was moving very slowly. Do you think there are more of them and should I get someone to spray? I got the heebee geebees and I was tip toeing all over the house and thinking I'd see bugs when it was only a scuff on the wall.

Answer 4

Why would you, or anyone for that matter, be afraid of a little caterpillar??  Except for a few species in the tropics they are completely harmless.  They become beautiful butterflies or moths you know.

Answer 5

It's harmless, it's most likely a hornworm

I know they look weird but they're just a caterpillar.

Answer 6

If you like butterflies, don't kill the caterpillars. They are harmless anyway, except for plants.
