Asp caterpillars

They look like Trump's toupee, ie not evil, but like anything connected to Trump, they ARE evil.
One fell off a tree onto Zeus Jr. yesterday and stung his hand. Poor little guy. He was out of commission, sobbing in pain, for over an hour.

He's ok now though, and still loves nature and all the plants and animals in it.Intense, throbbing pain develops immediately or within five minutes of contact with the caterpillar. Stings on the arm may also result in pain in the armpit region. Erythematous (blood- colored) spots typically appear at the site of the sting. Other symptoms can include headaches, nausea, vomiting, intense abdominal distress, lymphadenopathy, lymphadenitis, and sometimes shock or respiratory stress. Pain usually subsides within an hour and spots disappear in a day or so; however, with a larger dose of the venom, it is not uncommon for the symptoms to last several days or longer.
