Acharia [=Sibine] stimulea
Hodges #4700
Caterpillar
Auburn, Alabama
Note: The caterpillars are capable of inflicting lasting and painful stings with their spines.
I found one of these in Apalachicola,Fl. and was fasinated by its color. Of couse I was stung three times trying to share with my students and friends. I had no idea what it was called so I called it the Halloween caterpillar.
