The Spun Glass Moth Caterpillar
This caterpillar belongs to the slug moth family, known for its collection of spiked, hairy and toxic caterpillars. The family is so named because the caterpillars truly resemble slugs, in their plump, flattened shapes as well as the way they move, atop a liquefied silk secretion. At barely a half an inch long, the spun glass caterpillar is a rare sight, though it lives throughout the United States, mainly feeding on the leaves of swamp oaks. (Source)
