This caterpillar is sporting Donald Trump’s haircut

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks to supporters during a rally.

Donald Trump has a lot of things. He’s got hotels, a real estate portfolio, his own clothing line, a new bid for President, and his own television show, The Apprentice.

You’d think with such a wealth of things to occupy his time, he’d rest on his laurels. But you’d be wrong. Trump has recently extended his influence into the insect world, snagging a caterpillar that closely resembles his famous hairdo.

This picture of the caterpillar of the flannel moth is courtesy of television host and entomologist Phil Torres, who photographed the creature in Peru. If you should ever find yourself in its territory, though, don’t try to run your fingers through its luscious locks: picking up this “toxic toupee’’ could be disastrous.
