This is one of the most interesting and beautiful caterpillars I have ever seen. It is about two inches long.

 

Thanks to Albertaleps, i found out that this is the caterpillar of the "Smeared Dagger Moth" I did some google searches and found out that this is one of the most poisonous caterpillars in North America. The spines have a toxin that can cause severe pain and swelling, as well as an allergic reaction in humans.

 

I think the bright colours and wicked spines are a good warning to possible predators not to touch it.

 

I posted a link below if anyone wants to see the less flamboyant adult stage.

Thanks to Pucca for the sword belts! They are awesome!

They will be at We<3Rp on the 4th!

To avoid predators a lot of caterpillars rely on camourflage, but some, like this Grey Dagger Moth caterpillar, advertise warning signs. Apart from the obvious dagger, by its striking red and yellow colouration it also signals it's poisonous to eat. This one appeared on a blackthorn bush in my garden, one of its host plants.

 

Many thanks for your comments. Wishing you well in all your undertakings.

This metaphoric term, likening an angry expression to a dagger's thrust, dates from ancient times and has appeared in English since about 1600.

Got lucky and found this nice reflection of the nose of this F-102A Delta Dagger. March Field Air Museum, Riverside, California.

Decked out in its frilly yellow costume, this Dagger caterpillar posed nicely for me on our patio concrete.

 

On my belly to get this shot, of course :)

 

While it's beautiful to the eye, it won't be beautiful to your skin... Those five black dagger-like bristles on its back are tipped with poison and will cause stinging and welts on human skin.

 

Not life-threatening, but definitely not pleasant, especially for children who can innocently pick them up in their fascination of that bright yellow color.

 

"A Dagger moth caterpillar is a larval stage of the American dagger moth. It’s poisonous and dangerous and can sting with the long black bristles it has on its body" ... from butterflyhobbyist.com

 

With age, the yellow frills turn lighter and then whiten. The caterpillar eventually morphs into a nondescript, small, brown moth, which is completely innocuous at that point as an adult.

 

There... Your entomology lesson is over for the day.

Now, run out of the classroom and enjoy the weekend :)
