What is this catapillar ?

Black and yellow stripes about an inch long. The tree had a smell of sour milk around it this caused me to look where it was coming from.
they were on a blood orange tree in a tub, I removed them with old kitchen tongs, in case they were poison. Should I spray the tree also. regards Annie
