Megalopyge opercularis
Southern Flannel Moth
Caterpillar commonly called Tree asp, or American puss moth caterpillar.
The caterpillar has short stinging hairs that can cause mild to severe irritation. Follow these links to learn more about the lifecycle, and how to treat if skin is irritated after accidental touch.


As well they will have their hairs and the shorter Urticating spines in their cocoon.
They are 2 different parts of a venomous caterpillar.
The Urticating or "irritating" hairs are actually hollow hypodermic type spines that are connected to their venom sacs. The reason some have irritation from cocoon is because some venom maybe left in the hollow tube spine hairs causing an irritation.

It is always best if you dont know if a creature can harm you to leave alone. And really leave alone any creature you have no need to handle.
