Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar
Dear Jeff,
This is a Milkweed Tussock Moth Caterpillar and it poses no threat to humans unlike other caterpillars that are known to sting. Insects that feed on milkweed are able to incorporate toxins which make them distasteful or possibly even toxic to predators that eat them.
