what does it taste like?
Thanks to the OP for asking. We found one of these on the basil over the weekend.
I have one of them in my fly fishing tackle box. Yours seems better made though.
Apparently it’s a type of Tussock Moth caterpillar due to the four tufts of hair on its back which, as mentioned could have stinging cells.

IIRC it causes a moderate rash by the poison from it’s fine hair…
So don’t let the kinds touch it.
It’s cute!
That’s a Robert Menzies Eyebrow caterpillar. Or possibly a Pixie Merkin caterpillar.
