Spiny elm caterpillars are venoumous. They are usually found in the woods. They eat elm, cottonwood, huckleberry, and willow. But when they are found in large numbers they can be dangerous. If they are crawling on you don't slap it with your skin or against your clothes (instead remove it with a stick or with tape).

No, not all caterpillars with spikes are poisonous. Many of the caterpillars who have spikes are poisonous, but others use this as an advantage because if they seem to look poisonous then predators will not eat them.
