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 four white tufts on the caterpillar's back may mimic the cocoons of parasitic wasps.1

Large caterpillars are mostly eaten by birds, while small caterpillars mostly disappear while dispersing.1

The fungus Entomophaga maimaiga was introduced to North America to control the spongy moth, and it also infects this species.1

There are two or more generations each year in eastern North America, and the eggs overwinter.1
