Caterpillars of the lymantridae family or better known as caterpillars This caterpillar has venomous hairs and causes itchy and stinging irritation to the skin in direct contact.

When the fur is thicker and also resembles a saw blade, if it hits, it feels more itchy than ordinary caterpillars.
Be careful not to touch it directly.
In accordance with the title Caterpillars in Photography, I @seribubulan will add more photos about these hairy caterpillars.
Here is the photo

These caterpillars usually settle on plants and suck on leaves or other parts of the plant.
Caterpillars often feed on important parts of the plant, such as leaves, flowers, and foodstuffs, and can cause serious damage to the plant and even death if not treated quickly Early prevention of caterpillar hair on the skin can cause allergies and itching.
We can overcome this by not scratching the itchy part, removing the attached hairs, and using ointment for initial anticipation. After successfully removing the hair from the body, wash the affected area using warm water and soap to help remove any remaining toxins and then apply ointment.

This is my discussion on Caterpillars, hopefully it will be useful for me and all my friends who are here.
I apologize if there are mistakes and shortcomings in my writing, hopefully all steemians are always in good health and blessings of life.
