Ok, you will all think I am nuts, but I have fuzzy caterpillers in my planted aquarium. They came in on some plants from work. A customer brought in a leaf with 3 on it and complained that they were eating their plants. I didn't know what they heck they were...not from an underwater environment, that's for sure. But I came home one day to find 2 dozen vallesneria leaves severed and floating on the surface of my tank. Puzzled, I went through the plants and found 3 of these damn caterpillers! Has anyone ever heard of fuzzy green caterpillers that live underwater happily? I'm stumped! My tank is a jungle and I can't afford to have it infested with these things! HELP!!!

Got a picture? I've never heard of a caterpiller that could live underwater!
