Nightmares and pure pain!

Kill every one you see!

Never seen one.

Ok I will bite, what type of Caterpillar is it?

Side Hill Wampus!

Dunno

No words for the pain they cause!

White Marked Tussock Moth Caterpillar

Maybe

That's a white marked Tussock caterpillar
Thy are not poisonous, the hair's cause an irritation.
Try benadryl

Yup, that's a certified hurt-worm right there. We have some here and I have had the distinct displeasure of picking one up to show someone

One hair will set me on fire

Here

They hang from trees like trip wires.

That sucks! Hope the pain stops quick and the kiddos don’t get into one.

Nothing quick about it in my experiences. Cold shower is all that I've found that ends it. Your usually miles from home in a woods somewhere hunting when they get you.

About as much fun as stinging nettles (either the plant or the jellyfish which go by the same common name).

Jump in the creek or puddle and maybe a Jewell Weed rub.

Yup!

I've been known to jump in someone's pool.

Looks like the thing that got down my shirt while mowing the yard a couple years ago. burnt and itched and welped up all over. Not as unpleasant as eating an Indian turnip but pretty close. Lol

Second on the jewel weed rub.

Thanks Boys, just when I thought I had been bit by every insect that had ever lived.
If'n anyone needs jewel weed we have about an acre of it here.
Come help yourself, call ahead tho, my wife is quick on the trigger for uninvited guests.

Zim

Never seen one in SD and no need to share you can have them all to yourself!
