Unuppickable - _TNY_0709
If you happen to see one of these, the caterpillar of a fox moth (Macrothylacia rubi) - don't pick it up.
While they look (and are) soft and fuzzy - within all that fuzz are hairs connected to venom sacs and if the caterpillar become scared, you might end up with a pain in your hand for quite some time (I've heard of people experiencing symptoms on and off for months).
