Puss Caterpillar (Megalopyge opercularis)

This is a new one for me. I don't recall ever seeing one before.

1. As far as it can go

Great find and captures, that's one hairy cat! I could of said 'puss' but thought better of it!

very funky cat, and very dangerous too

Excellent captures Dolan.

Lovely series- almost feel like giving it a brush

Spectacular captures, Dolan. Not a caterpillar you want to have in your hands at all!

I thank you all very much! I never handle the hairy caterpillars. My wife did pick this one up without incident. But I don't think she will again.

Great find and shots, more hair than cat!

didn't know they got that hairy, nice find and captures.
