Description
Nikon 7900 image.
Here is an image of another recent discovery of a very small caterpillar which I have never seen before.
I found this guy on the bed liner of my pickup. I moved him to some foliage and managed to get a shot or two in the process.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

I got poked by a catterpillar quite similar to this; or at least it had those prongie, pokey things all over it - it HURTS to pick them up! Anyway, great shot once again ...
