jdhays 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Found it... Puss Caterpillar or "Asp"... http://insects.tamu.edu/images/insects/common/images/cd-43-c-txt/cimg256.html One of my co-workers is from the valley and he says he was stung by these when he was a kid... they secrete some kind of something that burns.

shanm 0 Posted December 4, 2008 Thank you so much for the info. I am so glad I did not touch it. Once it was discovered, it rolled up into ball, and I had to wait for it to unroll, so I could get a shot of it. ...Nice to know, I have lived here all my life and this was a first sighting for me. thanks again...smile,,, Link to comment
JohnMWright 1 Posted December 5, 2008 That is really strange and interesting, I'm glad you found it. I'd never heard of that either. Link to comment
