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

怎样认出它

  • 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

常被误认为: 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?

The spiny bumps along the back and sides are venomous. In people, symptoms range from mild itching and burning to more serious reactions.1

它对人有多危险?

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

Contact can cause mild itching and burning. Some reactions are serious enough to need medical attention.1

如果你碰到它的毛

  • 被毛毛虫的蜇毛扎到:用胶带把毛粘掉,再清洗皮肤。不要揉。
  • 被咬:清洗并冷敷。如果感到不适或容易出血,就去看医生。

一定先拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)。这里是一般急救指导,不是医疗建议。 急救基础

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。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
  • 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
