Question

(Please answer asap)

Answer 1

If it is an inch-long caterpillar with long brown hairs and red spots on its back probably that is a "Brown Tailed Caterpillar" which is poisonous.

Generally, the brightly colored caterpillars are poisonous.Other poisonous caterpillars include the Monarch (banded with white/cream, black, and yellow stripes), Saddleback Caterpillar (an inch long and has poisonous spines with oval purplish-brown spot in the middle of a green patch on the back) and the Pipevine Swallowtail.

Be careful as poisonous caterpillars can cause rashes, skin irritation, headaches, breathing difficulties and sickness.

Two things you need to remember: caterpillars with bright colors and with spines are usually poisonous so be careful.

Answer 2

Probably not, but that's not quite enough information to be able to identify the caterpillar.

If you had a picture or something, it might be possible to be more accurate in the assessment of the caterpillar.
