Saddleback Caterpillar

Description:

The caterpillars are primarily green with brown at either end, and a prominent, white-ringed brown dot in the center which resembles a saddle, hence the name. They feed on a large variety of plants, and the adults are dark brown, stout-bodied moths. In Florida and Alabama, they are known to feed on ornamental palms such as the Adonidia merrillii (Christmas palm). These caterpillars have a pair of fleshy "horns" at either end, and these, like much of the body, bear urticating hairs that secrete an irritating venom. Stings can be very painful. They can cause swelling, nausea, and leave a rash that can last for days

Habitat:

This species inhabits subtropical and tropical forest at elevations between about 200-1000m.

Notes:

I'm not sure... but I think that once one of these I peak.
