The Io moth is a colourful moth from North America. Its adults are striking, with large eyespots on their wings. Its green caterpillars carry spines that release a very painful venom, so they should be left alone.1

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

The spines of the green caterpillars release a very painful venom at the slightest touch. Contact is not life-threatening to humans, but it irritates the skin and causes an acute skin inflammation called erucism.1

Če se dotakneš njenih dlačic

Pri ožigalnih dlačicah gosenic: odstrani jih z lepilnim trakom, nato umij kožo. Ne drgni.
Pri ugrizih: umij in ohladi. Poišči zdravniško pomoč, če se poškodovanec slabo počuti ali hitro krvavi.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če se dotakneš njenih dlačic: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

The caterpillars' spines are urticating, meaning they can cause a stinging reaction on contact.1

Adults live only 1 to 2 weeks and do not eat during this stage.1

After emerging from the cocoon, adults inflate their furled wings with fluid pumped from the body, which takes about twenty minutes.1

Females attract males by releasing wind-borne scent chemicals (pheromones) from a gland at the end of the abdomen.1

Many flies and wasps are parasitoids of this moth, laying their eggs in or on it.1
