Rock Climber Caterpillar

OK, bricks, not rocks. This caterpillar was crawling on my shoe. I picked it up and it willingly posed wherever I put it (including on these bricks). I took a shot with it on my thumb while holding the camera in my other hand. I discovered it is an American Dagger Moth caterpillar. They can "sting" leaving a painful rash. Actually, the hollow hairs break off and embed in the skin with their toxins. Guess it liked me or I got lucky.
