English term or phrase: doodlebug
There are probably a million different kinds of spiders and caterpillars hiding under this porch, and not the cute doodlebug kind of caterpillar that's fuzzy and soft. I'm talking about the scaly ones that have a hundred legs to make it run superfast right toward you.

doodlebug - the larva of an ant lion or of any of several other insects, a small jet-propelled winged missile that carries a bomb, a small motor vehicle

larwa mr贸wkolwa
Explanation:
To niew膮tpliwie. Czasami te偶 okre艣la si臋 tak stonogi. Ale co艣 w tym opisie nie gra, bo zar贸wno larw臋 mr贸wkolwa, jak i stonogi trudno zaliczy膰 do sympatycznych, mi臋kkich i kud艂atych.

W tym opisie a偶 by si臋 prosi艂o o okre艣lenie 'liszka', bo tak si臋 potocznie nazywa te w艂ochate g膮sienice motyli - problem w tym, 偶e nikt g膮sienic motyli doodlebug nie nazywa
