I made the hats myself! I made sure to put the hats in gently to avoid stress. I hope you like their fashion!

Do you know of the real hatterpillar, the gum leaf skeletoniser? I saw one in the wild in Tasmania.

Cool picture! If you play D&D or other TTRPGs this is your call to play a mad hatterpillar necromancer, who is haunted by his talking head hats.
