This cuddly, hairy creature is the appropriately named (and sinister) Puss Caterpillar. They can be found in the
southern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central America.

I saw features on this caterpillar a few years ago.
Back then, they were saying it looked like Donald Trump’s ‘Toupee’.

We used to and still do call these little dudes “asps”.
Never knew they were called puss caterpillars.

“Teen recovering after sting Boy stung by venomous caterpillar Florida scientists: Don’t touch this bug”

Let this be a lesson son. Be very wary of the dreaded puss caterpillar.

“You should always not pick up caterpillars in Florida”

Great.

Now what do I do?

I saw one standing beside the road hitchhiking and I stopped and picked it up because it was raining out.

How do I get rid of it?

Not put down the toilet seat?

In Texas, we call them Mexican Asp.
I was climbing a tree when I was a kid and contacted one with the inside of my upper arm. I’m 65 and can still remember the pain.

Most Florida caterpillars will sting.

I was stung once as a teenager mowing the lawn, brushed by a bush that had one on it.

It was like someone set my entire arm on fire!......................

If Floridians don’t want liberals flocking to their state then one idea might be for the Florida State Seminoles to change their mascot to the Florida State Puss Caterpillars.

"If you call us right away, we can tell you things to do to relieve a lot of the pain,"

How about telling the news crew so that they can pass it on to the public in this article?

Some college should adopt that thing as a mascot. If Florida State is forced to give up its Seminole moniker it can adopt the Puss Caterpillars.
