Hoe om dit te herken

Usually yellowish green, with bright red, square markings on the back, though orange forms are also common.1
The body is flattened and oval in outline, with spiny bumps along the back and sides.1
The sides have craters ringed with black or white.1
Maximum length is about 2 cm.1

Word dikwels verwar met: Caterpillars are often confused with other caterpillars in the same genus, particularly Parasa species. The adult moths are the easiest to tell apart: Parasa has a larger green patch on its forewings, while Euclea delphinii has a brown thorax, where Parasa has a green one.1

As jy aan sy hare raak

Vir ruspe-brandhare: lig hulle af met kleefband en was dan die vel. Moenie vryf nie.
Vir byte: was en koel af. Kry mediese hulp as die persoon sleg voel of maklik bloei.

Bel altyd eers jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911). Dit is algemene noodhulpraad, nie mediese advies nie. Noodhulp-basiese beginsels

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As jy aan sy hare raak: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

Feite

Some hairs at the tail end of the final caterpillar stage are called 'caltrop' spines, after Roman defensive weapons. They can fall off.1

The pupa sits in a cup-shaped cocoon with a circular escape hatch.1

Several parasitoids attack this species, including tachinid flies and both eulophid and braconid wasps.1

Males far outnumber females in these populations.1
