Pine-tree lappet

Dendrolimus pini

名字的由来： "Dendro" comes from Greek for "tree", and "pini" is from the Latin for "pine". The "limus" part is Latin for "mud", which may refer to the moth's colouring.1

The pine-tree lappet is a moth whose caterpillars eat the needles and bark of pine and spruce trees. It is found across Europe, Asia and North Africa. Its caterpillars are covered in fine, sharp hairs that can irritate the skin and cause a serious illness, so it is important to recognise them and avoid touching them.1

怎样认出它

Caterpillars are fuzzy, covered in long, slender hairs with sharp tips, and have black hairs on the thorax.1
Caterpillar thorax has thick, alternating steel-blue bands, and the abdomen has a black mark bordered by irregular white lines.1
Cocoons are loose and partly see-through, ranging from yellow-brown to deep black, and are often marked with steel-blue hairs.1
Adult forewings are grey-brown to brown with a reddish-brown band and a dark brown to black stripe along the edges.1
Females are larger than males, with a wingspan of 70 to 90 mm, while males have a wingspan of 50 to 70 mm and are usually darker.1

毒液之力

蜇毛

细小的毛或刚毛会断在皮肤里并刺痛。

它的毒液会造成什么？

This animal is not venomous. When the sharp hairs of the caterpillar or cocoon break the skin, they release a toxin. This can cause skin rash, inflammation of the joints and cartilage, and chronic osteoarthritis.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

Contact with the hairs of living or dead caterpillars, or with their cocoons, can cause an illness called dendrolimiasis.1

它害怕时会做什么？

Caterpillars defend themselves with their sharp, irritating hairs, while adults lose these hairs and rely on camouflage.1

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。

如果你碰到了它的毛：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

事实

Mass feeding by caterpillars can strip whole forests of their needles, which harms the forestry industry.1

Caterpillars can survive for a month without food, which helps them spread when people accidentally transport them.1

Adult moths do not feed and live for only about 9 to 10 days.1

Caterpillars eat the first skins of their eggs as their first meal after hatching.1

Scientists found that the cast skins of the caterpillar contain a substance that may help protect them from fungal infections.1

A single generation takes one year in warmer climates, but about two years in cooler regions.1
