vegas princess—It's a hornworm caterpillar covered with parasitic wasp eggs. They are really bad for tomatoes plants—which is where I found the bugger.
I was grossed out by him too, but compelled enough by the eggs to go grab my camera before I cut the branch to dispose of him.
connie—I know it gets the eww factor for content—even I get the willies when I look at it. Something about the image really spoke to me though. I think the shallow dof and softness contrasting with the ick of the subject merries well.
unwelcome garden visitor (I know, pretty disgusting)
kudu at the zoo
zebra in black & white (is that redundant?)
All kinds of wildlife!!! :)

maggie's mind—Glad I could bring a smile to your face today.
nobody—The white sacs all over it are parasitic wasp eggs. Does that make it even more disgusting?
texasholly—Thanks! I thought it was kind of ironic.
