Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: The weather was clear and warm. I was doing garden chores when I felt a sharp sting. I looked nearby, and I saw the caterpillar. Because the sting was not momentary and because I saw two bumps on my hand, I came to the conclusion my sting came from accidentally touching the caterpillar.
This caterpillar was sitting very still for quite some time. It was near some weeds next to a bag of compost and a wood pile under a pine tree.
