Hi,
I need help identifying a caterpillar. It's about one inch long, it's black and fuzzy/hairy, with about ten yellow stripes down it's body.
Here's a pic I found on the Internet that looks similar : http://www.javajane.co.uk/Hairy/2.jpg
Thanks :)

Hairy Black and Orange one.
'Woollybears' is correct I think.

I've seen lots of wooly caterpillars and that doesn't look like one.
