Do Not Touch!

[RobinBradbery]

I really dislike these little things. They may look soft and fluffy but they get squished and buried anytime I see them. The trouble is, sometimes I don't see them until I touch them. I found this guy while I was picking up pecans. They are out and moving so be warned folks.

I have been nailed by an asp one time when I was a kid - had one fall on on my neck and down my shirt. Felt like my skin was on fire!

A pus$ moth caterpillar, otherwise know as an asp. They are dangerous and can even put you in the hospital.

The venomous pus$ moth caterpillar (also called the asp) is present in the southern United States. It is teardrop shaped and has long silky hair, making it resemble a tuft of cotton or fur. When a **** moth caterpillar rubs or is pressed against a person's skin, its venomous hairs are embedded, usually causing severe burning and a rash. Pain usually subsides in about an hour. Occasionally, the reaction is more severe, causing swelling, nausea, and difficulty breathing.
