Thanks for the kind words and good for you for figuring this out. I will be watching for your pictures. :)

I have taken the pictures but we are going to put them on the sight this weekend. All the pictures are of the caterpillar living on our tree. I don't know what kind of caterpillar it is. It isn't the wolly bear caterpillar. My brother thinks it is the lion caterpillar. If you have a picture can you tell me what to search?

if not, go to the search box and type in caterpillar wa that should give you a page of pictures of caterpillars found in Washington. Good luck!

Yes! that is it! Do you know what it's name is?
Plus thanks for answering all my questions. Wait one more question! I want to know if it is poisonous because it has the little hairs in a circle that you talked about?

If you click on the picture of the caterpillar above it will take you to that 'page' in the guide. This is a stinging caterpillar. To see the information in the guide read the bottom of this page.

Good job at the concert last night!

I held the caterpillar last night but the hairs didn't sting me they just felt normal. Why is it like that if it is a stinging caterpillar?



Thanks,
Hannah

It sounds like you don't have very sensitive skin. The reaction of the person depends on how sensitive they are to that particular venom. This is similar to how some people will have bad reactions to poison ivy or poison oak, while others do not.

Thank you so much I have asked so much questions and you have given me all the answers.


Thank you! From,
