Parasa lepida
No wonder if the common name is "Nettle Caterpillar", because they stung me and that was very painful..
Found on Mango tree
Not so bad then, but to be avoided. I am very wary of all hairy bugs, after a bad experience as a kid back in the UK.

@Wilson: It's fine, just for information :)
@Dave: Yeah you're right, but they'll only give you less than 12 hours of painful, in my experience :)
After I found mine, I read that they will give you 24 hours of painful discomfort. I guess I was lucky as I did direct it a tad with my finger and got away with it. A beautiful but dangerous bug.
