This little caterpillar was crawling around on my friend’s deck last week as we sat soaking up the sunshine (as seen in contrast on the deck) of an unusually warm fall day. My friend said not to touch it as it is a Hickory Tussock Caterpillar which can cause a nasty rash if you come in contact with its bristles. A very pretty little guy though!

That’s a big ‘pillar, Lisa. I wouldn’t want to touch it on principle, even without the warning. 😮

I had never seen a white caterpillar before- so different- but I kept my distance!

In color you can see the sunlight stripes- I liked the contrast they made with the wood deck!

That is a wonderful fuzzy caterpillar. I wonder what he/she grew up to be?

He has a great defense system, you don’t dare touch him. ❤️
