Can anyone identify this stinging pest?

Although we've had blueberry bushes for decades, this is the first time we've seen this amazing creature. When you brush against it, your skin reacts the same as if you've touched stinging nettles. It's armed on all sides and I had trouble telling which end was which! Anybody know what it is?
