WARNING: This Fuzzy Creature Is Hiding A Secret That Could Kill Your Loved Ones And It Lives In The U.S What would you do if you saw a fluffy caterpillar somewhere in your home? While you may be inclined to pick it up and let it gently outside, this deceiving critter actually covered in venom. According to reports, this puss caterpillar lives in Northern and Central America. It has been known to fall out of trees onto unsuspecting victims. The experience can be a painful one, given that the fur on this insect is actually various venomous needles. Together, these needles can sting with a power akin to a scorpion or jellyfish. Some of those stung have even been known to vomit or convulse. If you have any of the following in your backyard, you should be on the watch for these critters: oaks, elms, citrus trees, roses and ivy. If you do come into contact with one, seek medical attention.
