“Everybody is afraid of something”, was said by more than 1,700 kids during a research interview. Some of us don't like the dark, others hate nightmares and scary movies, and then there are those who want to run away from mean dogs, snakes, and creepy crawlies.
I spotted this little critter on the bathroom floor of my hotel room, I nearly mistaken it with one of my daughters hairballs she loves to roll after collecting her hair from the shower. After bending down wanting to pick it up to throw it in the bin, I discovered (luckily for me before touching it) that is was a very hairy caterpillar.
You do not want to touch this baby with the bare hand as it could sting you and cause great irritation. I used some toilet paper to pick it up and through it outside. Furred caterpillars are eschewed by almost all humans not only because they are creepy but also thanks to their urticating hairs. The tips of these hairs are detachable and dispense irritating poison which cause itchy hives on the human skin.
