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

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
