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。

The spiny oak slug is the caterpillar of a moth in the family Limacodidae. It lives on deciduous trees and shrubs across the eastern United States, and its spiny body can cause painful skin reactions, so it is worth knowing well.1

怎麼認出牠

  • Usually yellowish green, with bright red, square markings on the back, though orange forms are also common.1
  • The body is flattened and oval in outline, with spiny bumps along the back and sides.1
  • The sides have craters ringed with black or white.1
  • Maximum length is about 2 cm.1

常被誤認為: Caterpillars are often confused with other caterpillars in the same genus, particularly Parasa species. The adult moths are the easiest to tell apart: Parasa has a larger green patch on its forewings, while Euclea delphinii has a brown thorax, where Parasa has a green one.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?

The spiny bumps along the back and sides are venomous. In people, symptoms range from mild itching and burning to more serious reactions.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。

Contact can cause mild itching and burning. Some reactions are serious enough to need medical attention.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
