That’s Adorable of the Day

Tumblr blogger Julie ran into this little guy in a friend’s insect collection and decided to throw him a birthday party, knowing he would soon die. Thanks to Tumblr’s support, Julie set him free.

I found this caterpillar for a peer’s insect collection. Knowing that he would ultimately meet his death, we decided to throw him a birthday party.

Edit: Because of the outcry, the caterpillar was returned to a nice tree to live out its days. Refer to the recent post for proof!
