Baron Caterpillar

Dear Dean,
We believe this is an Baron caterpillar from the genus
Euthalia, and to the best of our knowledge, it is not poisonous.  There is an image on Butterfly Circle and one on FlickR to support our identification.  A Check List of Butterflies of Indo-China verifies the genus is present in Laos.
