From Amazonas, Ecuador. If you touch this fellow, it hurts for hours.

I find the light very nice, but maybe the softness of it disguises how nasty the little fellow is!

Hi David. I can ensure you, that it is a nasty fellow. One of my friends touched it, and his skin was irritated for hours. Thanks for your comment :)

Wouldn't say it's nasty. It has the "don't-touch-me" look. ;-)
Is it a caterpillar?

I don`t know what sort it is. Never seen it before or since. Thanks for your comment :)
