Newswise — PITTSBURGH (KDKA/AP) – A venomous caterpillar from Canada is now being spotted in parts of central Pennsylvania.
If you see the white hickory tussock moth caterpillar, don’t touch it.
Its fuzzy black spines contain venom to ward off predators, but it can also irritate human skin.
The good news is the nasty rash it leaves behind is treatable with lotion and ice.
Some KDKA-TV viewers have seen it near the Frick House and along the Montour Trail.
As reported by CBS Pittsburgh.
