New Caterpillar Friend

Today I was doing some writing outside under the big maple tree near ODY, as I was about to leave I realized that I wasn't alone. This beautiful caterpillar had found its way next to me and was resting on a leaf. It was a brilliant yellow with spikes of black coming out of its back, as well as having a black face. I thought it was an interesting critter and was glad I got to see it!
