Yes! The only reasonable thing to do now is pick it up with tweezers with gloves on and yeet it out of existence. Neem oil, peppermint soap, isopropyl alcohol, and water. Spray down the plant and check the soil. Praying for you!

Tussock moth caterpillars can cause dermatitis in humans if they come into contact with their skin. For some people, it can cause itching, while for others it can cause a rash.

I have two extra long tweezers for just such an occasion. I use them daily to get rid of snails and caterpillars like this one. Good luck.🍀 🪴
