You found a yellow fuzzy caterpillar with black dots on each side lined in a row on top of it what species is it?

When I went hiking with my dad near a waterfall, we sat upon some rocks. When I went up there to rest with my brother I saw a little white and black caterpillar. I didn't touch it because I didn't know if it was poisonous. Please try to find some information about it.

When I was in my backyard I found a white caterpillar with a black stripe in the middle I touched it and it stared itching like crazy so don't touch it

If I'm thinking correctly, the caterpillar you two are talking about is a Hickory Tussock Moth Caterpillar. It's hairs are poisonous, so don't touch them!! You will start to itch and have rashes come up. If this should happen, you should probably report to your hospital. I think they are very pretty, but you know the most beautiful things are also the most dangerous! Ha ha

I was putting up a fence in my back yard with my husband one day i was wearing shorts and all of a sudden i felt this really sharp picky things between my legs it hurt really bad i started screamming and then took off my shorts right in the yard and out fell a white and black Caterpillar i broke out in hives and it was so itchy i didn't go to the hospital i was fine i got in the shower washed where it had rubbed its hairs all over my upper thigh i have no idea how it got there but if you are doing yard work hiking or just playing in the back yard watch out for them the rash was gone the next day !
