Don't panic, Donald Trump's wig hasn't finally decided enough is enough and emigrated, this is the Megalopygidae caterpillar.

It is sometimes called the puss caterpillar due to its resemblance to a sweet widdle pussy cat, but you wouldn't want to stroke it. The megalopygidae "fur" is actually made up of venomous spines that will cause a nasty sting, accompanied by headaches and nausea, if you get too close.

The megalopygidae evolves into the flannel moth which, in itself, is just a winged pikachu. Take a look.
