Nevada Buck Moth Caterpillar
Hi Robert,
This is now the third report we have gotten in the past few weeks that there are unusually large numbers of Nevada Buck Moth Caterpillars, Hemileuca nevadensis, in the San Diego area this year. See here and here for additional photos and information. Please do not handle Nevada Buck Moth Caterpillars or any related species as the spines can cause a nasty contact dermatitis.
