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 mrówkolwa
Explanation:
To niewątpliwie. Czasami też określa się tak stonogi. Ale coś w tym opisie nie gra, bo zarówno larwę mrówkolwa, jak i stonogi trudno zaliczyć do sympatycznych, miękkich i kudłatych.

W tym opisie aż by się prosiło o określenie 'liszka', bo tak się potocznie nazywa te włochate gąsienice motyli - problem w tym, że nikt gąsienic motyli doodlebug nie nazywa
