#saddlebackcaterpillar

The urticating hairs of the Saddleback Caterpillar can be very very painful when they inject you with their venom. My friend Uwa got stung by one today while harvesting lima beans, and one got me while in the corn last year. Okra juice helps, and so does chewed up plantain, but the stinging and swelling lasts a while, and you may experience nausea. #saddlebackcaterpillar #achariastimulea #urticatinghairs #urticating #venomouscaterpillar (at Delaware County, Pennsylvania)

A saddleback caterpillar (Acharia stimulea). I have wanted to see one of these for a looong time. They feed on a wide variety of plant species. #caterpillar #insects #saddlebackcaterpillar #Acharia #arthropod #arthropodsanonymous #leps #lepidoptera #illinois #forest #plants #botany #botanizing #nature #naturephotography #naturelover #spines #ecology #trees #southernillinois #midwest #summer #herbivore #herbivores #insectsofig #insectsofig #insectagram
