caterpillar

Texans enjoying state parks and the outdoors are warned to avoid the Southern Flannel Moth caterpillar—its venomous hairs can cause intense pain and irritation.

If you see this little critter in the video below, don't mess with him, kill him, smash him, use him for fishing bait, etc.

It's a huge problem right now. If you're seeing brown spots on football fields and golf courses around East Texas, blame those nasty armyworms.
