Description
Spring has arrived for sometime now and so has the deadly, lethal and excruciating sting of the Buck Moth Caterpillar. They can actually devour the leaves from young oak trees. Here and other southern states property owner may put aluminum foil wrapped around the truck of the oak tree. As the caterpillar climbs up the trunk of the trees the majority of them once they reach the aluminum foil they will slide off and this does deter the caterpillar from destroying the new growth on the oak trees.
Many years ago a professor at Loyola had taken his lunch break and decided to walk around the bike and walk path of Audubon Park which is lined with the hundreds of oak trees. One of the buck moth caterpillar had fallen out the tree and stung the professor neck. Because he had a reaction to the stink and his neck had swollen so rapidly he could not untie his shirt tie. Medics arrived and had to cut his shirt from his neck, the professor was rushed to the hospital to be treated for the sting which nearly caused his death.
