fuzzy white caterpillar - Apatelodes torrefacta

fuzzy white caterpillar - Apatelodes torrefacta
North East Marion County, Marion County, Florida, USA
September 20, 2020
I found this caterpillar on the edge of one of my bird baths. It appeared to be drinking but I am not sure. It moved around the rim of the edge of the bird bath a couple of times. I left to fill other bird baths and when I came back it was gone. It was very pretty but someone told me that fuzzy caterpillars can sting, so I just left it alone.
