Looks like a weevil.

Thanks, MayraSpringmann. I think it's a lovely caterpillar, too. Looks a little prickly, though. :)

Could this be a ladybug larva? Seems like it's feeding on aphids.

Thank you, Leana. I will certainly add the info you gave. :)

Thank you for the suggestion ceherzog. :-)

Yes. It was a bit foolish of me to touch it. I know to assume every snake to be venomous. But my excitement got the best of me!

I don't think feeling the spines/hairs is a good idea. They might make you itchy.

This may be a species of hawk moth.

Thanks lucas1. I just wish I knew this plant's species.
