I was so excited to see this caterpillar on a neighborhood walk that I walked all the way back to my house and grabbed my phone so I could take a picture of him. Fortunately I took care not to brush him with my knuckles while I was leaning in for the close shots. Most fuzzy caterpillars will give you a rash, and this one is no exception.

I appreciate your reference to Eric Carle. Learned about that rash thing when my wife put a caterpillar in her pocket.
