Hi. If you’re still answering emails, I would love to know if you know what this bug is. … The larger one is from our yard. We live in Tampa, FL. This thing (or several of them) have been buzzing around for a while. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’d really like to know if it stings since I have 2 young boys. Thanks a lot

This is a Polka-Dot Wasp Moth and it is harmless. The Caterpillar is the Oleander Caterpillar and we just posted a photo of it yesterday.
