I love coming across busy scenes like this!

That fuzzy little caterpillar is an unidentified Arctiinae species. Not sure why he would get so close to a spider’s egg mass, but perhaps he felt secure with his long hairs. The spider is also unidentified, but I believe it is from the Cytaea genus, and as you can see, they’re going to be a parent ♥

Cytaea xanthopus (?)

Identification rests on very shakey ground.
