Amazingnature - Very prickly caterpillar

Hi amazing nature lovers. Yesterday I went out with two of my hunting friends and yesterday afternoon we were planning to look for some photos of insects and also photos of wild mushrooms.

Because the weather where we were was uncertain, so we just crossed a small forest nearby with a small but green bush.

Yes, sometimes it rains in the afternoon, and it has been very frequent in the last few weeks here in our area, north Aceh.
So we agreed to just hunt nearby.

Not in vain, I found a thick thorny caterpillar. This is one of the most amazing caterpillars I have ever found. It was amazing when I saw him standing on the leaves.

The caterpillar are yellow and prickly like tree branches I really didn't want to miss the moment to get some shots.

Looking for references to find a caterpillar like the one in this photo and I found that this caterpillar looks like a species with the caterpillar on Wikipedia Caterpillar

And my guess is that this is a dangerous thorny caterpillar, don't ever touch these thorns, if you don't want your hands to hurt and itch.

Some time ago I accidentally touched a ladybug that is still in the larval stage, because before becoming an adult they have spines like this caterpillar but the difference is small but the thorns are also almost similar to this caterpillar, you know my hands bleed like a needle prick at the pharmacy.
