I found the little slender black beetle after removing sleeping bag and inspecting. I was alone and couldn't figure out why I had all these large painful blisters on the left side of my rib cage. I had the misfortune of having one become a bed fellow in my sleeping bag on a camping trip. Their acid attack is very painful and leaves large blisters and boils on your skin. Blister Beetles for instance, roll over on their back before chemical attack. I remembered from my parents teaching me that any insect with distinct defense coloration, protruding spines, and interesting behaviors when agitated.
I have seen them in our states mountainous region never this far east and at this altitude. This one is a new one for me locally here. Educating our 2 and 5 year old on some of the many "Do Not Touch" critters here in NC. We found a Dagger Moth in our front yard here in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, It is August 1st. Yet this amazing species has adapted to living in what would seem like not an ideal location for a hoard of caterpillars! How amazing is nature! But this brood of babies are located in an oddly very rocky adry area where there are mostly spruce and aspen trees. I read that most American Dagger Moth Caterpillars live among forests and trees only.

A week later, an article appeared in the newspaper advising people to beware the cute, fuzzy white caterpillars roaming about. " Has Matty been playing with a fuzzy white or yellow caterpillar?" D'oh! When I got home, I looked up the caterpillar and learned all about him. I can't remember if the welts appeared within hours or the next day, but when I took him to the pediatrician, she knew right away what had happened to him. Good thing I did because wherever those fuzzy little hairs had touched his delicate baby skin a huge red welt appeared. He let the caterpillar climb up his arm and on his leg, and he was laughing.and loving the little thing, but I wasn't too keen on it, so I walked Matty to a tree and let the caterpillar climb onto a leaf. When Matty was about 2 years old, we were on the back deck when a big, beautiful white Dagger Moth caterpillar crawled in his path. American Dagger Moth caterpillars are so fuzzy, cute and cuddly you just want to pick them up and let them crawl on you.but don't! I know this from experience. The early instars of this caterpillar are bright yellow like this one, but the later instars get paler and paler, until they can be almost white. I knew what it was right away-a young American Dagger Moth Caterpillar.
As I was walking on the Little Miami Trail earlier this week, I saw this fuzzy yellow caterpillar with black tufts hustling across the pavement.
