Not sure the variety but the color is a warning to birds! A real stinging critter!

If it is a Buckeye (and it appears to be), they are harmless...

Ken, excellent in all ways and I bet it would give one a lot of pain if touched. Double downloads are a must to really see how sharp the photos are.

I wasn't about to pick it up, Greg. I agree, looks like the stinging sort. Thanks for commenting.

Nice captures Ken... If you submit it to bugguide.net (they also have a Facebook group and both are free to join) you can get an ID as to what it is....

Thanks, Scott. I think I'll do that.

They sure don't look harmless. I suppose scary looks can be enough of a deterrent, though!
