I haven't been able to ID this guy. It is eating oak leaves.

I spotted an image of that one while trying to find the first caterpillar! He's a real hairy one, isn't he?

Ouch, don't touch him! Stings like a son-of-a-gun. Hurts for hours.

I was watering plants on my porch. A leaf touched my arm & I was on fire! I thought at first I had been stung by a wasp. Finally found the culprit, a Saddleback caterpillar. Didn't know a caterpillar sting could hurt for hours!
