I found a similar looking caterpillar. Did you ever find the type? I finally found out with this is! It's called a tiger swallowtail =)

I'm not sure if what you are looking at is a worm per se. It sounds more like a caterpillar which is the larvae of either a butterfly or moth. Try looking up different types of caterpillars since they tend to be quite colorful and can have hairs that stand out on various areas of their segmented bodies. That sounds kind of like a wooly bear caterpillar to me. wooly bears are often black with redish fuzz and black fuzz. (3 stripes) They become Isabella moths.
That type of caterpillar is called a spidenuoes. Its a spanish bug, like most Mexicans, which sneaks in when your not looking and trashes everything you've worked so hard to grow. No different than having an anchor baby, only thing is that Sevin works on the bugs. Not the Mexicans
