This is quite dangerous. This can be usually seen in the Drum stick trees. I remember people used to kill them using soap water or by burning them.

This world is full of varied creatures
This little animal is very scary. Its hair contain toxic materials which cause burning and itchy sensation on skin.
Wow, that sounds like a cute yet dangerous creature. I do like caterpillars and hadn't thought about this side of some of them, a good reminder not to touch.
Thanks @insideoutlet there are many different species of these too...some of them are scary too
