Description
The white-marked tussock moth caterpillar is one of the best looking in the tussock moth family, the red head, yellow stripes, white tufts and prominent tail all add to its appearance, and the two bright red glands on its back are striking too, like little red lights.

Thank you Jennifer. I was so tempted to pick him up but thought maybe not. Glad I didn't as it gives a nasty rash.
