Caterpillar of the Io moth (Automeris io)
I like how this picture makes it look enormous. Amazing it looks like pine needles, the perfect disguise. Locals call it gusano de pino, also "Fever Worm." Touch or step on one and days of pain follow. Putting lime on your affected area can help reduce the pain.
