    Love your videos. Also those caterpillars are called “white marked tussock moth caterpillars” But don’t touch them. The furry cute exterior has very small barbs and glands with venom that dig into your skin and cause a rash! It’s treatable and you’ll be ok but definitely try not to touch them. They’re starting to cocoon at this time and they’re all over St. Pete. Wish they were a special type of monarch butterfly or something more beautiful but what can ya do.
