This is the caterpillar Megalopyge opercularis, which is also called the cat caterpillar

3 September 2023

She is fluffy and very venomous.

Victims of her bite describe pain as a sensation similar to pain from a broken bone or a blow with a blunt object.

The reactions are often very severe and cause burning, swelling, nausea, headache, blisters, and sometimes numbness or difficulty breathing.

One of the redditors said that after being bitten by this caterpillar, even morphine did not help him with pain.

We do not stroke this fluffy
