Spikey caterpillar. Those spikes at the head end are both retractible and capable of stinging. The sting is very mild, a bit like being stung by a half-hearted stinging nettle. You know you have brushed one, but that is about it.
If you google the name "LIMACODIDAE" you will come up with some very spectacular looking caterpillars.
