It's a saddleback catapillar. The thorns have venom. Felt it on my neck. Never seen one before, but will definitely be on the lookout from now on.

He's an addict who has avoided triggers until now. As we speak, he's visibly shaking and sweating, scratching at his arms and trying to get his old copy of Pokemon Snap to boot.

If there's one thing I've learned it's to not disparage someone's childhood obsession on the internet unless you're prepared for the backlash. Nostalgia runs feverish among forum users.
