A friend sent this to me. Where she got it, I have no idea. She would like to know what kind of catapiller it is. I know it has the name of Marco Fisher. I tried to find any information about him. No luck. Anyway does anyone know what it is.

Those tendrils often indicate a "stinging" variety of catepillar. I'm not certain for this one, but this beautiful one may also be displaying a warning of "don't touch me."

Still, great photo.
