Nettle Caterpillar

Parasa lepida

Description:

3 cm long. According to the locals, they may cause severe burn on skin.

Habitat:

I found it in a durian tree (Durio zibethinus) in a newly developed residential area.

Notes:

Thanks to BartVD (http://www.projectnoah.org/users/BartVD) for ID suggestion. Just to go along with wikipedia, I use Parasa lepida rather than P. philepida.
