I'm not sure if this is a hoax or not, but I'm seeing a LOT of references to this as an 'asp' or 'puss caterpillar'. though the pictures don't look like this thing at all. either way, i find it very interesting.

Aaawwww, cute! It looks like an adorable little poisonous Muppet (tm.)!

Oy, don't touch those things according to Wikipedia: "The 'fur' of the larva contains venomous spines that cause extremely painful reactions in human skin upon contact. The reactions are sometimes localized to the affected area but are often very severe, radiating through the limb and causing numbness, tingling, rashes and blisters, and more systemic symptoms such as chest pain and anaphylaxis. Ironically, the resemblance of the larvae to soft, colorful cotton balls encourages people to pick them up and pet them."
