    Connect them all so that there is no space in between the letters.(The M's have to be round! Not pointy.)

    Make M's with the center of each of the M's going between each 'u' of the M. (Just like the Me-To We symbol!)
    • Make a connecting tail that goes up into a triangle. Connect the bottom and top M's.

  • Question
    Can that same caterpillar look 3d?
    Community Answer
    Perhaps with a lot of perfect shading it can look a little 3D. You have to alter it with shading to make it look that way.
