| This is Lophocampa caryae, the white hickory tussock moth caterpillar, a native of Canada that in recent years has started to encroach into the US. The hairs in its back contain a venom and are barbed like a harpoon. When you touch him, these hairs embed into the skin and can give an itchy red rash similar to that of poison ivy. |
