American Dagger Moth Caterpillar - Yellow Fuzzy Caterpillar with 5 Black Hair Tufts

My Hubby found this beautiful Caterpillar in our backyard. I have never seen one before. I read online as well as my Caterpillar book that this is an American Dagger Caterpillar. They can come in Yellow or White,,,, they have 5 distinct Black Hair Tufts to help you to identify them.
**IMPORANT**
Some people with sensitive skin can get a skin rash or hives from this Caterpillar. I did not. Use caution to make sure you don't have a reaction. The below website has great information about this Caterpillar.
