Spotting

Here is a wiki link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgyia_anti...

Closest I can find is Orgyia antiqua.

No, those are tufts... And they are something you should avoid touching because in many species of caterpillars they pack a sting.

Thanks for the classification! Are those eggs on it's back?

Tussock moth caterpillar. I will try to get you a species I'd when I'm on my laptop instead of ipad

That's an interesting one. Nice spotting and welcome to the Project!
