Why? Is it nasty in some way? (I'm not taking the ****, I'm just curious).

No idea. It just looked liked something that didn't want to be messed with
and I'd never seen before.
I can see the headlines now.. "GW leads to furry yellow mutations" etc ;-)

Generally speaking things that have bright colours either taste very
nasty, are toxic or both. Hairy caterpillars tend to have toxins in/on
the hairs and/or leave tiny but very sharp bits of hair in your skin that
irritate something rotten. How ever there are some things that mimic the
nasties... best not take the risk unless you know.

Don't kids learn this these days? It's basic survival stuff...

Yes- I remember dropping something like this in to the hair of my
mother-in-law many years ago. It was the same stay that I mixed a good
dose of laxative chocolate stuff into her ice cream: I remember the
fall out very well.
