Description:

Found in my backyard, I've been told this is an oak caterpillar (not sure) and to not touch, the ends of the fuzz sting...

This cool caterpillar is pretty fuzzy but I don't believe this is a stinging variety. However, if you don't know what type of caterpillar it is, it's always a good idea to use caution so you don't accidentally get stung! Nice find! I love the face.
