Topsfield, Ma.

Gotta throw this out to you bug specialists because I could'nt find it in my Ortho book, or Google it w/o a name!
Trying to identify a 2-3" light green worm, identical to a tomato hornworm w/o the horn and stripes. It has two rows of tiny spikes down its back with yellow tips, each segment,
and blue tipped spikes on its sides, each segment, at 3 and 4 oclock. The head has four more prominent spikes more reddish in color. Please don't tell me it's lethal as I handled it casually...LOL! Thanks in advance for all info!
Borer, I'm counting on you to come thru...haven't seen you stumped yet.
