The impact is very quick and make you cry for long. I had numerous encounter in childhood, however met the little one today in our verandah after long time. So while going out or walking make sure there is none around you, either on the floor or eithe on tye walls. These soft looking woolen tiger moth are hard to trace.

Be safe..and stay away. !!

This is quite dangerous. This can be usually seen in the Drum stick trees. I remember people used to kill them using soap water or by burning them.

Thanks for the heads up. Are these only in India, or in other places, as well?

I che ked in google too and found it native of UK amd north America...

This world is full of varied creatures

This little animal is very scary. Its hair contain toxic materials which cause burning and itchy sensation on skin.

Wow, that sounds like a cute yet dangerous creature. I do like caterpillars and hadn't thought about this side of some of them, a good reminder not to touch.

Thanks @insideoutlet there are many different species of these too...some of them are scary too
