Dasychira caterpillar
Are they poisonous or do their hairs sting like some caterpillars? 2601:881:8100:175C:6B8D:A176:CA8A:E056 (talk) 17:15, 16 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Most tussock moths have bristly larvae, and bristly larvae can easily trigger dermatitis in sensitive individuals, but this is not at all the same as having venom. As far as I'm aware, no tussock moth larvae possess venomous bristles, and allergic reactions to them can occur even in the absence of venom. Dyanega (talk) 17:54, 16 May 2023 (UTC)
