BananaBandit Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post steven100 Posted October 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) 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. Edited October 21, 2022 by steven100 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
