what kind of critter?

[BananaBandit]

after tending to my yard, i sat down to take a break.

 

i then noticed this critter  ( pic attached )  on my leg. 

 

quickly, i flicked it away. 

 

what is this thing?

 

it looks cool, especially the undercarriage, which is full of sticky suction-cup thingies. 

 

can this thing cause pain?

 

is it poisonous?

It's just a striped caterpillar .....  there are hundreds of different types.   

Best not to touch any because some '  especially the furry type '   can cause a severe rash.

If you post on the Thai Biodiversity Facebore group https://www.facebook.com/groups/thai.species.id with location details they will ID for you. Usually, a very rapid response ???? 

 

If you don't use FaceBook I'll post the photos if you can give a more precise location.

It may be ONLY a caterpillar but I have never seen that kind before.  I too, would be curious . . . .

I'm not sure about the critter, but you might want to get the dry skin on your leg looked at.

This website has led me to ascertain the exact taxonomy:  Euploea core godartii
