Just got back in from the hay fields and will try this again.
Anybody know what this is? Don't think I ever seen one before.
Looks like all I needed to do was resize my pics a little smaller :wink:

That is a saddleback caterpillar; larva of a species of moth.
Contact with the hairs causes a painful, swollen rash and sometimes nausea in humans.

It's a sub miniature Schnauser in a tiny dog sweater. Really.

Looks like a tire with a bug on it, just kidding. I have never seen a bug like that, at first I thought it was plastic and you were fooling with us.

Just one variety in a large family of spiny worms. Don't make the mistake of trying to pick one up---you'll think you've grabbed a hot wire.

That thing is just pure nasty looking, When I used to run dozers clearing pipeline right of ways I would see all kinds never seen one of those. There was a white one with black hairs on both ends that would sting the heck out of you and smashed it would give you welts and blisters

JD Farmer,

Good Lord, that is one ugly critter! I think his yellow safety vest means "KEEP AWAY".

Daughter just said she'd kill it first and ask questions later!

I believe if any of us were a catepillar and looked like that, we'd have an attitude too.

Years back I went out on the town a few hard ones and seen some of those riding on the backs of pink elephants. Betty Ford told me that I was cured and wouldn't see them anymore. I want a refund.

No wonder you were sour when it wouldn't post a picture before. What is that thing? He who made kittens put snakes in the grass. I'd take my chances with the snake

From the looks of the covering, or lack thereof, I would say it is a Miley Cyrus bug - nasty attitude and excess of exposed body parts.
