This caterpillar of a Saturniid Moth was filmed in the Amazon rainforest of Ecuador. Its body is covered with venomous spines for self defense. The caterpillar is brightly colored (aposematic coloration) to warn potential predators that it is unpalatable. Many caterpillars have venomous spines, which can even be dangerous to humans!
