Best Answer

Monarch butterfly caterpillars, these guys feed on milkweed which contains cardiac glycosides so they can be toxic to the heart. Some caterpillars have stiff spines or hairs that can do physical trauma and cause oral and GI irritation. The puss or asp caterpillar, flannel moth larvae is considered the most dangerous caterpillar in the US. The slug caterpillar, or saddleback, is in North America and is a stinging caterpillar. They have 2 horns with spines. The hag moth, or monkey slug, also stings and is primarily east coast.
