that's considered one of those tomato horn computer virus.that's not poisonous, it surest looks frightening to predators as a take care of mechanism. It eats tomato flowers and additionally has pink guts. while you're itchy that's once you evaluate that of the bristles and the acidic guts from what it eats. Do now no longer be alarmed , somewhat of that's devouring (with speed and enjoy) your backyard. It does finally end up a midsized yet dark and beautiful moth.

It is a type of tomato horn worm.It is not poisonous, it only looks scary to predators as a defense mechanism. It eats tomato plants and also has red guts. If you are itchy it is because of the bristles and the acidic guts from what it eats. Do not be alarmed , other than it is devouring (with speed and relish) your garden. It does become a midsized yet dark and beautiful moth.

Definitely some kind of caterpillar. Those little bristly things probably have some sort of poison in them, to keep birds and other critters from eating it. Look at the photo at this site--same thing?

These are poisonous catepillars. They cause an acid like burn when contacted with flesh, use vinegar or baking soda and ice to cool off the area it touched...
