毛虫是昆虫目的蝴蝶和蛾的蠕虫状幼虫形式。苍蝇旁边。鳞翅目昆虫是最丰富的节肢动物，全世界有超过165，000种，大部分种类对人类没有威胁。然而，来自全世界大约12个蛾或蝴蝶科的毛虫物种可以造成严重的人类伤害，从荨麻疹性皮炎和特应性哮喘到骨软骨炎、消耗性凝血病、肾衰竭和脑内出血。与蜜蜂和黄蜂不同，刺毛虫没有毒刺或附在毒腺上的修改的产卵器，而是具有高度专门化的外部刺毛或刺毛和分离的刺或刚毛来防御捕食者和敌人的攻击。自20世纪70年代以来，在世界各地，有越来越多的报告称，在接触毛毛虫后出现了大规模的皮肤病、肺部和全身反应。
Caterpillars are the wormlike, larval forms of butterflies and moths of the insect order Lepidoptera. Next to flies. lepidopterans are the most abundant arthropods with more than 165,000 species worldwide, and with most species posing no human threats. However, caterpillar species from approximately 12 families of moths or butterflies worldwide can inflict serious human injuries ranging from urticarial dermatitis and atopic asthma to osteochondritis, consumption coagulopathy, renal failure, and intracerebral hemorrhage. Unlike bees and wasps, envenoming or stinging caterpillars do not possess stingers or modified ovipositors attached to venom glands, but instead bear highly specialized external nettling or urticating hairs and breakaway spines or setae to defend against attacks by predators and enemies. Since the 1970s, there have been increasing reports of mass dermatolgic, pulmonary, and systemic reactions following caterpillar encounters throughout the world.
