The Venomous, Pus-Squirting Caterpillar

It looks like a toupee', squirts venomous pus from knife-like spines, but when all is said and done, it turns into a beautiful southern flannel moth.  

It's common in the United States and other countries, but the stings from this caterpillar are excruciating.  One woman said it felt like "a scorching hot knife passing through the outside of my calf." Avoiding these caterpillars is your best option to avoid problems.  Since their sting is similar to a bee sting, some people who are allergic to bees could be affected adversely if stung.
