Default What is this creature??
I found this thing in my back yard this morning attached to my daughters fun jump. It has very soft "fur" and was about an inch or so long. Any idea what this is?? Seems like some kind of catapilar.

Picture is unclear. I'm kinda leaning towards a silver lab or black panther but I'm no expert.

"Puss moth caterpillars rarely cause serious damage to trees; however they can pose a health hazard to children and gardeners. Intense, throbbing pain develops immediately or within five minutes of contact with the caterpillar. Stings on the arm may also result in pain in the axillary (armpit) region. Erythematous (blood-colored) spots may appear at the site of the sting. Other symptoms include headaches, nausea, vomiting, lymphadenopathy, lymphadenitis, and sometimes shock or respiratory stress. Pain usually subsides within an hour and spots disappear in a day or so."

Well, it damn sure didn't sting me. My daughter runs around back there without shoes pretty often but I'll be sure she has shoes on from now on. I went back to look for it but it's gone. I'm not too worried about it. She doesn't mess with bugs but she loves to catch lizards!
