Have you seen these White-Marked Tussock Moth Caterpillars? 🐛⬇️ These caterpillars usually reach their peak population mid-Spring. They will continue to squirm around for 4-6 weeks before settling into a cocoon. They are becoming an increasingly challenging pest both in suburban areas as well as wooded ones. If their numbers are significant enough, they can defoliate entire trees/shrubs! Plus, their bodies have hairs that are hard to remove from the skin and can cause rash and irritation when touched. Part of the reason why these pests are so dreaded come Spring is the inevitable cocoon clean-up, which, when touched, can also cause skin irritation or even allergic reaction in some. Be cautious to limit contact with these pests. Get your pressure washers ready! #tussockmoth #pestcontrol #ocala #spring
AAAH! Have you noticed these fuzzy caterpillars falling by the hundreds from the trees? The tussock caterpillars are out in droves and can be quite a nuisance in areas under heavy oak tree cover. Feeding by the caterpillars usually has little impact on oak trees, their preferred hosts, but wind-blown caterpillars may land on and defoliate small trees and shrubs around the yard. Eventually, these furry guys turn into moths but not before they wrap themselves in white cottony cocoons. Thankfully, they do not sting, but their hairs can be quite irritating to humans and pets if our skin makes contact. The effect is similar to what you experience from touching fiberglass. With gloved hands, the cocoons can be carefully pulled off with tweezers and the adults can be swept into buckets of water and dish soap. If they are heavily defoliating desirable shrubs, you can also use an all natural insecticide called Bt (Bacillius thuringiensis) on the affected plants. For more about these creepy crawly creatures see: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/publication/IN1032 or call the Duval County Extension Office at 904-255-7450. #insectsofflorida #duvalcountyextension #tussockmoth #floridagardening #floridainsects #ufifas #mastergardenerprogram

Lymantria dispar While this species is an extremely unwelcome sight in North America, it is quite spectacular looking! This is the infamous Spongy Moth! Introduced into North America in the 1860s, it has since spread to cover much of the eastern US. It is a seriously damaging pest, with some outbreak years seeing extreme forest defoliation. That all aside, it’s a really cool species and is absolutely beautiful as both an adult and larva. #SpongyMoth #Lymantria #Lymantriadispar #Erebidae #Moth #Caterpillar #Insect #InsectMacro #InsectPhotography #Bug #TussockMoth #Lymantriinae

I’m feeling more like a caterpillar than ever before just working on some major life changes and wondering what kind of butterfly I will become! I know what this guy will become though, an Oak Tussock Moth. Their caterpillar stage just screams no touchy with its spines and bright colors. I love the variety of different colors and textures that decorate its body during this fragile stage. Sometimes I feel like nature overdid it but I’m sure there’s a good evolutionary explanation for each little feature. They bask in their fancy glory at this stage however because they grow into a nice dull brown moth that live just long enough to lay eggs and continue the cycle.

Happy Valentine's Day to those most special ones out there 💝🌷! I've saved up some of these 'moth couples' photos for quite some time. These are absolutely real and not posed in the least 😊, but each has its own tenderness and sweetness. Hope you all have your special gifts from the universe, and if you don't, have hope that beauty will find you! Song in my head: "Purple Rain", re-imagined by the universe and myself into a new version as a gift 🦋✨☔. 1. Cloaked Marvel from Sax-Zim Bog in Minnesota...see the hearts in the wings 🥰. Breaking my rule on sharing a gift on IG, but it's the right day for it. 2. A Tussock Moth and a Grapevine Beetle, or as I call it 'Every Beauty Needs To Go Out With An Idiot', lyrics from a U2 song 😆. NOT posed, either! 3. Smaller Parasa gives a Tussock Moth an arm around the shoulder. 4. Two Little White Lichen Moths share a snuggle. 5. LeConte's Haploa and Rosy Maple share a moment... 6.

Tussock moth ~white marked tussock moth ~orgyiini ~hairy caterpillar (to protect itself from predators like insectivorous birds) This hairy caterpillar was living on the palm plant and turned into a tussock moth after completing its life cycle. I observed this caterpillar (in the first photo stage) on 9th November and it emerged from the cocoon stage as a fully grown moth (5th slide) on 23rd November and then flew away at night after 3 days. I didn't get to record when it flew away but it was a great experience to observe a caterpillar turning into a moth. #moth #tussockmothcaterpillar #tussockmoth #moths #palmpest #mothsofindia #mothsofinstagram #insects #insectphotography #wildlifephotography #considerhuman #NiFFeature

Caterpillar are the larval stage of butterflies and moths. Types: •Danaus, •Papilio demoleus , •Tussock Moth Caterpillars are typically voracious feeders and many of them are among the most serious of agricultural pests and can eat their entire body weight of food in just one day.In fact, many moth species are best known in their caterpillar stages because of the damage they cause to fruits and other agricultural produce, whereas the moths are obscure and do no direct harm. Conversely, various species of caterpillar are valued as sources of silk, as human or animal food, or for biological control of pest plants. #caterpillar #metamorphosis #butterfly #moths #insect #arthopods #nature #planetearth #naturephotography #learnmore #educationalcontent #natureawerness #lovenature #papiliodemoleus #danaus #tussockmoth #kritikumari294 #bharat

“The goal is therefore not to merely identify or “visit” your inner wildness, but to express it fully and vibrantly in the way that you live. I ask that you take the time to slow down: listen to the river’s song, root yourself in tree wisdom, inhabit the sturdiness of rock. To be in relationship with the Earth, you must take the time to know her.” - Mary Reynolds Thompson, ‘Reclaiming the Wild Soul’ This is what wandering has been about for me. At the beginning of my journey I thought I needed to get the most miles in - I wasn’t doing it right if I didn’t build up to 8, 10, 12+ mile hikes right? Strength, stamina, endurance, proving myself… to who I don’t know. Myself maybe? But it became clear very quickly that wasn’t what I was supposed to be doing. I’m a wanderer. An observer. I’m here to connect with all things. It’s the journey for me, the experience; not the length, difficulty or the destination. Slowing down is what allowed me to see the beauty & magic all around me (like this beautiful tussock moth caterpillar so late in the season). It’s what led me to find my wild soul. Savor is one of my favorite words. I love to savor the moment. I savor my food, my favorite people, every damn thing that brings me joy - I savor the f out of it. That is how I get the most out of my time. That is how I’m reclaiming my life, my own wild soul. And I promise you, people who really know me & have seen this in action will tell you, it’s magic & it’s contagious. But anyone can do it. We can all tap into this magic wildness inside of us. Start savoring your life. And once you do, you won’t want to stop. ✨ #tussockmoth #wildsoul #transfomationtuesday #natureheals #naturetherapy #healing #somatic #somaticcoach #somatictherapy #naturesmagic #healingjourney

🧣 The russet contrasts on this milkweed tussock moth (Euchaetes egle) caterpillar seem to shout, "Happy fall!" Consider also its coat's general fuzziness, and you might agree that this little larva would fit right into an ad for autumnal sweaters. But, soft and warm as its hairs may appear, it isn't enough to get this caterpillar through a frosty winter. That's why it's eating milkweed as fast as it can, growing up to an inch long (and, if you include the fuzz, nearly as wide). It's not trying to grow enough warm hairs to keep out the chill. Nor is it planning to transform into a winged creature and escape winter entirely, like its fellow milkweed-muncher, the monarch butterfly. The milkweed tussock moth's winter survival strategy is all internal. As it eats, it builds up a special antifreeze in its hemolymph (insect blood). Any day now, the full-grown caterpillar will find a sheltered place to spin a soft, gray cocoon, inside of which it will shed its skin and become a pupa. Protected from the cold by unfreeze-able hemolymph, it will spend the winter in this state before transforming to a moth in the warmth of next year. Stay warm, and keep your eyes open for wildlife doing the same! #jenkinsarboretum #jenkinsarboretumandgardens #americasgardencapital #milkweed #milkweedcaterpillar #tussockmoth #nativecaterpillar #nativecaterpillars #autumn #autumnwildlife #fallwildlife

Just finished another tea bag piece. Lino print on 6 teabags mounted on paper. These are some of my favorite, local moths. The one on the upper right is an Isabella moth, which metamorphosed from a wooly bear caterpillar. @walthamopenstudios #moth #tussockmoth #linoprint #linocut #printmaking #printmakersofinstagram #linocutart #teabag #teabagprint #linogravure #endangeredspecies #pollinators #workinseries #insectart #disappearinginsects #handprinted #linografia
For this week's spooky #WildlifeWednesday, let's meet the creepy-crawly caterpillar of the white-marked tussock moth! A native North Carolina insect, you might see these caterpillars on Bald Head in late summer. Although they look very fuzzy, you don't want to touch them: some of those hairs secrete a substance that can irritate your skin. Even contact with white-marked tussock moth cocoons has been known to cause dermatitis! While not the cuddliest critters, white-banded tussock caterpillars are not usually considered pests. They live and feed on a variety of trees (oak trees being their favorite), but they have plenty of natural predators to keep their numbers in check. #baldheadislandconservancy #wildlifewednesday #whitebandedtussockmoth #whitebandedtussockcaterpillar #tussockmoth #creepycrawly
This Milkweed Tussock moth caterpillar was crawling on a chain-link fence at the Reserva Ecologica Costanera Sur in Buenos Aires, Brazil on December 16, 2022. This caterpillar was quite striking with the hairs growing out all around its body. Thanks to @joannacrilly for identifying this caterpillar for me. This was featured on Flickr.com’s explore page on October 19, 2023.
