牠吃什麼？
Caterpillars feed on leaves, skeletonizing them. Young caterpillars feed in groups of about 100, and older caterpillars feed alone. They mainly eat hickory, pecan and walnut, but also eat several other trees.1

  • The caterpillar has black spots along its sides and a black head capsule.1
  • The adult moth has yellowish-brown forewings marked with white splotches, which look like stained glass.1

毒液力量

會螫人的毛

細小的毛或刺毛會斷在皮膚裡，造成刺痛。

牠的毒液有什麼作用？

No venom has yet been isolated or identified in this moth. Its hairs cause irritant contact dermatitis, an itchy rash, in many people, especially those prone to allergies. The rash can resemble exposure to urushiol, the irritant found in poison ivy.1

牠對人有多危險？

對人的危險: 輕微跟蜜蜂螫差不多或更輕微。對人基本上無害。

In over 350 documented cases, most people had no symptoms within 24 hours. No case involved anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction. The hairs are microscopically barbed, and if they are transferred from the hands to the eyes they may rarely cause serious medical complications.1

如果你碰到牠的毛

  • 被會螫人的毛毛蟲毛刺到時：用膠帶把毛黏起來，再清洗皮膚。不要搓揉。
  • 被咬時：清洗並冷敷。如果傷者覺得不舒服或容易流血，要就醫。

一定要先打緊急電話（112、000、911）。這是一般急救指引，不是醫療建議。 急救基本知識

注意安全

  • 絕對不要碰、抓或捉弄野生動物，就算是很小的動物，就算牠看起來在睡覺或已經死了也一樣。
  • 給牠空間。如果遇到了，保持冷靜，慢慢往後退，讓牠自己離開。
  • 如果你碰到牠的毛：保持冷靜，保持不動，打緊急電話（112、000、911）或趕快去醫院。記住牠的樣子，有照片會很有幫助。

牠不是想來抓你。牠用毒液來捕捉食物或保護自己，而且牠更想躲起來。 更多安全知識
