Artist Reply: According to Trixi, it's a Saddleback Caterpillar. I had never seen one before this so I didn't know either. Glad you stopped by!

Never seen such a caterpillar, you are right: it looks like he's wearing a cute little sweater. Thanks for sharing this moments!

M Smith
Artist Reply: As you can see by the penny he's a fairly small little critter; I almost missed him. I shot him over a three day period. I let him crawl onto my palm and he stung or bit me. It hurt for a while but it wasn't excruciating; mostly just annoying. But he was sooooo cute so it was worth it. It's the only one I've ever seen. But I thought he was awesome!
