The Saddleback is an easy one to identify, but this is one creature you don't want to ride! This saddle is for looking, not touching! The venomous spines on this green saddle wearing caterpillar are easy to see! They also were a set of white to cream-colored spots on their back end that look like eyes and works as a deterrent.

Host plants- apple, asters, blueberries, citrus, corn, dogwoods, elms, grapes, linden, maples, oaks, Prunus species, sunflowers, and viburnums.

Although the sting is not as intense as the Puss Caterpillar, the treatment remedies are the same. Sting treatment that can help include removing broken spine from the skin with tape, ice packs, antihistamine, and hydrocortisone cream to the affected area.
