Did you know that more people die from caterpillars than sharks, lions, and bears combined every year? Coyote, Mario, Trent and Jim venture deep into the Costa Rican wilderness again to illustrate just how strong the stinging bristles from these tiny creatures can be. In this episode, Coyote debuts the brand new CATERPILLAR STING PAIN INDEX! You know what that means, Coyote Pack... This may be the first caterpillar sting, but it won't be the last 👀



Special thanks to Jim Cordoba finding this caterpillar, inspiring the caterpillar sting pain index, and sharing his knowledge about moths and caterpillars for this episode! Visit https://biosurfoundation.org/ to learn more about the amazing work Jim and his team are doing to protect the rainforest of Osa Peninsula on the Rio Nuevo reserve and beyond.
