Saddleback caterpillars (Acharia stimulea)
Saddleback caterpillars (Acharia stimulea) belonging to the slug caterpillar family (Limacodidae) have stinging spines all over their bodies that can cause intense burning if they contact skin. These have been parasitized by braconid wasps that will eventually kill the caterpillars. The wasp cocoons are visible on the backs of the caterpillar. S. Cory Tanner, ©2018 Clemson Extension
