The White-marked tussock moth caterpillar is easily distinguished by its red head, black stripe down the center, four white tuffs near the front and two red dots toward the back. Though its bright colors make it pretty to look at, it is best to avoid any contact, as its stinging hairs can cause an irritating rash.

Wow, that is a very fancy caterpillar!
Very pretty and visible!
That would be so tempting!
Some things are better left alone. 🙂
That’s beautiful Rebecca I love insects they have so much amazing detail.
I like that the camera brings out details that can’t be seen with the human eye. Insects are quite amazing.
What a wonderful testimony to our amazing Creator! You have depicted this caterpillar as a marvel of creation.
It is quite amazing, as all God’s creatures are. 🙂
Yes.
Very cool caterpillar! Never saw or heard of this one before! Great image!
Thank you! 🙂
