This is the kind and quick response I got from Dr. Dave Shetlar from OSU Extension Entomology (aka the BugDoc)
..."This is the saddleback caterpillar, one of the slug caterpillars. All have very potent stinging hairs, as you've found out. The saddleback is a generalist feeder being found on a variety of trees, perennials, and even field corn where it can cause obvious problems during corn harvest.
Treat the stings like any wasp sting (ice packs, antihistamines, etc.)."
Thanks, BugDoc!
