Spiny Oak Slug Caterpillar
Hi Elizabeth,
This caterpillar is in the genus Euclea. We found a matching photo on BugGuide, and we believe there is a good chance it is the Spiny Oak Slug, Euclea delphinii, a species with a highly variable caterpillar. Exercise caution when handling the Spiny Oak Slug as well as other members of the family Limacodidae, as many species have stinging spines.
