Unwelcomed Visitor

Seen this on My Brown Turkey from Home Depot. As Pretty as it was, well you know the rest


Wow Sal ive seen some caterpillars in my day but that one is unusual looking with its spikey hair doo.
Kinda reminds me of a vacuum cleaners bristle brush.

You need to watch out for those spiny caterpillars.  The hairs will stick into your skin and will burn like fire.  It happened to my friend.  The doctor told her to coat the spines in her arm with Elmer's Glue, let it dry and then peel off the glue and it will pull the spines out.  It worked for her beautifully.

It looks kinda like the kid down the street.   Does it eat fig leaves or just happened there accidently? Never seen one like that before.
"gene"

Gene that was funny. I really don't know what kind of caterpillar it is but  do have an ID question on the GW Florida gardening forum, so might get an ID I can look up. Since starting to grow vegetables I see bugs I never seen before.

For now he is the Fuller Brush Guy ;)
Found It Oleander Caterpillar

I looked up this caterpillar and the one place said that the hairs on the Oleander caterpillar aren't the kind that sting you.
