Bristly Ball

Look at this ball of bristles! It's reminiscent of a sea urchin, don't you think? It's the larval stage of the very pretty Giant Leopard Moth (Hypercompe scribonia), a North American native.


I love how each set of bristles radiates outwards from a central point. They're pretty robust and firm.
