Welcome to the Community Daryleeked! The bizarre looking saddleback caterpillar has an effective defense against predators – it is covered with urticating hairs that secrete an irritating venom, delivering a very painful sting that causes swelling, nausea, and a long-lasting rash. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153139967470603&set=a.10152575329380603.958289.10150120463815603&type=1
