TOUTLE, Wash. (WTVD) -- A man in Washington State claims a photo he snapped of a strange-looking caterpillar is no Photoshop stunt.

The bug appears to have a human face on its back.

Some people say the face looks like Edgar Allan Poe. Others say it resembles the late comedian Robin Williams.

Robert Palmer - who took the picture - said a woman even told him it looks like the Devil.

Palmer sent photos to local bug experts in Washington State who are puzzled themselves. So far, nobody's been able to tell him what he found but one #ABC11EyeWitness may have "discovered" who the face belongs to.
