Answer 1

The Saddleback Caterpillar, Sibine stimulea. These caterpillars have a pair of fleshy "horns" at either end, and these, like much of the body, bear urticating hairs that secrete an irritating venom. Stings can be very painful. They can cause swelling, nausea, and leave a rash that can last for days.

If you come in contact with the stinging hairs, the experience is much like a bee sting. To remove the hairs quickly, place a piece of cellophane tape (or whatever kind of tape you have at hand) over the spot and remove it quickly - the hairs will stick to the tape. The sooner you do this, the less effect the sting will have.

you got some really good pictures there! Consider sending them into this site http://www.whatsthatbug.com/
