It’s a saddleback catapillar. The thorns have venom. Felt it on my neck. Never seen one before, but will definitely be on the lookout from now on.

I’ve lived in this location for over 40 years before I had a run in with one… As a kid we grabbed any reptile/amphibian we saw while playing in the swamps but had never met a saddleback until a few years ago. Crazy little guys, beautiful but angry.
I’m in the same boat. Over 40 years here, and my first time encountering one. I had a serious WTF moment.
