What it means

A close-up photo shows a bright green caterpillar clinging to a stick while a person holds it. The caption humorously treats the caterpillar as a formerly cooperative companion that has become cruel and inappropriate, asking whether Pavlovian conditioning can permanently change its behavior. It is used as an absurd reaction to someone or something suddenly becoming unpleasant. EN: A close-up photo shows a bright green caterpillar clinging to a stick while a person holds it.
