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

Sihlala

Southern Canada and the eastern and central United States, from Manitoba and Ontario down to southern Florida.1

Ekhaya

Caterpillars feed on many trees and shrubs, including oak, maple, willow, mulberry, beech and ash. People are most likely to meet the caterpillars on these plants.1

Ubude

6,3 cm ukuya ku-8,8 cm (2,5 in ukuya ku-3,5 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,03 km/h (0,02 mph)

Sitya ntoni?

The caterpillars eat the leaves of many host plants. Adult moths do not eat, as they have vestigial mouthparts.1

Iinwele ezihlabayo

Iinwele ezincinci okanye iinwele ezirhabaxa ziyaqhawuka esikhumbeni kwaye ziyahlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Contact with the spines is not life-threatening to humans, but it causes painful skin irritation.1

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When sitting head-down or when touched, adults shake and expose their hindwing eyespots. Caterpillars defend themselves with stinging spines.1

Ukuba uchukumisa iinwele zaso

Kwiinwele zemibungu ehlabayo: zisuse ngeteyipu encamathelayo, emva koko uhlambe isikhumba. Musa ukukhuhla.
Kukulunywa: hlamba uze upholise. Fumana uncedo lwezonyango ukuba umntu uziva engaphilanga kakuhle okanye wopha lula.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba uchukumisa iinwele zaso: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

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
