Pine-tree lappet
The pine-tree lappet is a moth whose caterpillars eat the needles and bark of pine and spruce trees. It is found across Europe, Asia and North Africa. Its caterpillars are covered in fine, sharp hairs that can irritate the skin and cause a serious illness, so it is important to recognise them and avoid touching them.1

Pozoi-ahalmena
Ile edo zurda txikiak azalean hausten dira eta ziztatu egiten dute.
Zer egiten du bere pozoiak?
This animal is not venomous. When the sharp hairs of the caterpillar or cocoon break the skin, they release a toxin. This can cause skin rash, inflammation of the joints and cartilage, and chronic osteoarthritis.1
Zein arriskutsua da pertsonentzat?
Arriskua pertsonentzat: MingarriaBenetan min handia eman dezake, baina ia inoiz ez da larria.Contact with the hairs of living or dead caterpillars, or with their cocoons, can cause an illness called dendrolimiasis.1
Zer egiten du beldurtzen denean?
Caterpillars defend themselves with their sharp, irritating hairs, while adults lose these hairs and rely on camouflage.1
Bere ileak ukitzen badituzu
- Beldar ziztatzaileen ileak: kendu zinta itsaskorrarekin, eta gero garbitu azala. Ez igurtzi.
- Koskak: garbitu eta hoztu. Lortu mediku-laguntza pertsona gaizki sentitzen bada edo erraz odoltzen bada.
Deitu beti lehenik zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911). Lehen sorospenei buruzko orientabide orokorra da hau, ez mediku-aholkua. Lehen sorospenen oinarriak
Egon seguru
- Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
- Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
- Bere ileak ukitzen badituzu: egon lasai, egon geldi, deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911) edo joan ospitalera azkar. Gogoratu nolakoa zen, argazki batek laguntzen du.
Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia janaria harrapatzeko edo bere burua babesteko erabiltzen du, eta askoz nahiago du ezkutatu. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago

Datuak
Mass feeding by caterpillars can strip whole forests of their needles, which harms the forestry industry.1
Caterpillars can survive for a month without food, which helps them spread when people accidentally transport them.1
Adult moths do not feed and live for only about 9 to 10 days.1
Caterpillars eat the first skins of their eggs as their first meal after hatching.1
Scientists found that the cast skins of the caterpillar contain a substance that may help protect them from fungal infections.1
A single generation takes one year in warmer climates, but about two years in cooler regions.1
