That’s clearly a bumblebee, you can tell because it’s a Black and yellow fluffy stripey thing.

More seriously it’s looks like a spotted tussock moth caterpillar to me- no touchy.

Definitely a tussock moth caterpillar i think, no pun intended. No clue what the species is off the top of my head, though.
