minus-squarenomad@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down5·1 month agoLikely a slug moth caterpillar. You should be careful not to touch it, the spikes can irritate the skin.
minus-squareexcess0680@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up17·1 month agoDoesn’t look like a caterpillar to me. It has well-defined legs (not prolegs which larvae are known to have) and looks a lot like a plant hopper of some kind to me. I am not an expert, and I can’t conclusively say if those hairs are irritants.
minus-squareORbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·edit-21 month agoNo. The legs and weird wings are a tell-tale sign it’s not a larva.
