Caterpillars are poisonous if they have pointy spikes on their back. Some caterpillars can bite or sting and they may inject poison in you when they bite but that's usually caterpillars from the jungle or from a different state considering I'm from P.E.I/ Canada. I have a pet caterpillar but its not poisonous so it depends on what kind of caterpillar and its ok if the caterpillar you have has hair because its not poisonous in fact caterpillars are very common with hair.

While the caterpillar is technically incapable of biting, the male caterpillar has hollow point retractable claws on its hind legs that are capable of inflicting a sting whose venom ranks between the Sydney Funnel Web Spider and the South American Poison Dart Frog in terms of the world's most dangerous neurotoxins. It is said that a single drop of the caterpillar's venom is enough to kill ten regular sized adult men, or up to fifteen smaller, more weight conscious men.
