The saddleback caterpillar is the larva of a moth found in eastern North America and Mexico. It is green with a brown saddle-shaped marking on its back, and its spiny hairs can cause a painful rash. Gardeners who handle plants where it lives are most at risk of contact.1

Anaishi

Eastern North America, including the eastern United States, and Mexico (for example the Yucatan)1

Amerika Kaskazini

Nyumbani

It is most often found on ornamental plants and palms, where gardeners are most at risk of accidental contact. It is polyphagous, meaning it feeds on many plant species rather than just one.1

Hula nini?

The larvae feed on plants. In Florida and Alabama in the United States, they feed on palms such as the Manila palm (Adonidia merrillii). Later in life they feed on both sides of the leaf.1

Some larvae have a false face at the rear, with two pale dots that look like large eyes.1

Nguvu ya sumu

Manyoya yanayowasha

Manyoya madogo au vinywele hukatika ndani ya ngozi na kuwasha.

Sumu yake hufanya nini?

The hairs and spines contain an irritating venom that is released when they touch skin or are broken. Contact causes a painful, swollen rash and sometimes nausea. Severe reactions are possible and can include migraines, breathing trouble related to asthma, anaphylactic shock (a dangerous allergic reaction) and bleeding. Symptoms can last from a few hours to a few days, depending on how sensitive a person is.1

Ana hatari gani kwa watu?

Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.

This caterpillar has one of the strongest stings of its kind. Gardeners are most at risk because the caterpillar is common on ornamental plants. Symptoms vary from mild to severe, and the sensitivity of the person affected makes a difference.1

Habari njema: madaktari wana dawa (ya kuzuia sumu) au matibabu ya hili.1

Hufanya nini akiogopa?

When threatened, the larva curls outwards so its spines are hard for a predator to avoid, and its bright colours warn of its toxicity.1

Ukigusa manyoya yake

Remove the spines from the skin immediately using adhesive tape over the affected area, with a new piece of tape for each treatment, to stop the venom spreading. Ice packs, corticosteroids and antihistamines (taken orally or applied to the skin) have been reported to help relieve pain. Symptoms are relieved with prescribed medication on a case-by-case basis.1
Kwa manyoya ya kiwavi yanayowasha: yaondoe kwa utepe unaonata, kisha osha ngozi. Usisugue.
Kwa kuumwa: osha na upoze. Tafuta msaada wa kitabibu mtu akijisikia vibaya au akivuja damu kwa urahisi.

Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza

Kaa salama

Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
Ukigusa manyoya yake: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.

Ukweli

The false face on the rear end is thought to confuse predators, which may attack the wrong end.1

Its cocoon is made of silk mixed with its stinging spines, which protect the pupa during metamorphosis.1

Braconid wasps often lay their eggs inside these caterpillars, and the wasp larvae feed from the inside and later emerge through holes in the body.1

Like other slug caterpillars, it moves on suckers and mucus, which help it roll and stick to surfaces.1

The adult moth has no sting and lives about 10 days on average.1

The adult moth loses the caterpillar's bright colours and has velvety dark brown forewings and cream hindwings.1
