Am I the only person who thought this was a caterpillar at 1st glance?
@Spiggitzfan no, altho one woman thought it was a feather duster

@Spiggitzfan i didn't read your caption and i thought it was a caterpillar
@theguy @Spiggitzfan I only realized it wasn’t because of the caption. I was like “a caterpillar…standing on flowers?”
@Spiggitzfan No, you aren't. It took me a while to see anything else than a caterpillar with.... legs¿?
@Spiggitzfan Wow! What kind are they?
@Sunny05 @Spiggitzfan someone in thread said they were Bee Eaters. Just had a quick search, I think they are!
@galactico @Sunny05 @Spiggitzfan Yeah, they're European Bee Eaters.
@WetLettuceLeaf @galactico @Spiggitzfan Thank you! They sure are beautiful. I wonder how old they are and how much they weigh - must be a sturdy limb. They sure are snuggled in closely, all nine, if I counted correctly. Anyway, thanks for the answer about what kind.
@galactico @Spiggitzfan Thank you! They are beautiful, and the photography is great.

@Spiggitzfan
It took me awhile to see anything BUT a caterpillar then the caterpillar was gone

and the birds are laughing

Thanks! 😂🌱

@dennis_jernberg

@Spiggitzfan that's objectively a caterpillar at first glance
@Spiggitzfan no. Absolutely not. Increble. Thanks 🪶💙💚💛🔭
@Spiggitzfan No, I thought it was a lazy looking caterpillar 🤣 haha
@Spiggitzfan and second and third glance.
@Spiggitzfan I honestly thought it was pure death-ipllar.
@Spiggitzfan First, second, third. I am not saying anything else, but zoom was involved. #WearYourGlasses
@Spiggitzfan
No, had to look twice when I read your post. It’s beautiful
@Spiggitzfan yeah, my neural network isn't perfect.
@Spiggitzfan I would still be seeing caterpillar if not for the comments
@Spiggitzfan it is only because you said it was not!
@Spiggitzfan no, altho one woman thought it was a feather duster
@Spiggitzfan I also thought it was a beautiful caterpillar as I first scrolled to the picture.
@Spiggitzfan No, you're not. I had to look three times before I saw what it really was.
@Spiggitzfan Looks like a birdobeam to me
@Spiggitzfan silly birbs. I’ve never seen birds sit together like this. If anything, they sit on the same tree or wire, but never bunched up like this. I wonder what they’re trying to accomplish here.
@ruleofthree maybe they're cold?
@Spiggitzfan that does make sense. but still, most birds I see are at most passive to each other and don’t get this close.
@Spiggitzfan Awesome! I needed help w/ that one! 😂
@Spiggitzfan oh cool it’s birds. Yes my first thought was pretty caterpillar.
@Spiggitzfan it’s not a caterpillar?
@Spiggitzfan
"Wait, what is it then... Ooooooooh."
@Spiggitzfan holy cow! You mean it’s NOT a caterpillar?
Oh wait …
