Caterpillar

caterpillar-1013

Look what I found in my porch. A crazy yellow caterpillar with long black hairs. Turns out it's an American Dagger Moth caterpillar (Acronicta Americana, if you will). Thank goodness we told the kids not to touch it. Turns out, "hollow setae may break off in to human skin, releasing a toxin which can produce a rash." See, sometimes we do know what we are talking about.
