I have found so many hairy caterpillars, and not a few caterpillars have made me traumatized and very scared to meet them, like a caterpillar that I managed to find a few days ago behind my house, this is a black caterpillar covered in small thorns all over its body. Of course this is a hairy caterpillar that is very dangerous especially if it comes into contact with our skin, the fine thorns on the caterpillar's body will stick to our skin and that is what will make our hands very itchy and swollen.
This caterpillar often spends its time on plants and leaves, its black color makes it easy for us to see and find it so we can avoid it. I used to have this caterpillar's hair on my arm and it is still a trauma for me until now, the size of this caterpillar is small but it is very dangerous, so it is highly recommended to avoid this caterpillar when you meet it.
Okay everyone, here are some pictures of this caterpillar.
