Prickly!

Day 220 - I've no idea what sort of caterpillar this is all I know is I wouldn't want to stand on it!

[Chris H]

Definitely wouldn't want to be in contact with this prickly little critter. 🐛

[Pyrrhula]

Great close up of this beautiful caterpillar

[Lou Ann]

Oh my! It looks fierce!

[Diana]

It even has bristles on those spikes, yak!

@chrisiow Nor would I, they give me the creeps just like moths!
@pyrrhula Not sure I would call it beautiful!
@louannwarren I certainly wouldn't want to pick it up!
@ludwigsdiana I wondered if it's poisonous!
Thank you all for your lovely comments!

Interesting capture and lovely shot.

@tonygig Thank you, I was on my hands and knees to capture this low down!

All those bristles and spikes tell other critters "Don't eat me and don't touch me, either!"

Check out the Peacock caterpillar ... could this be yours?
