I hope you didn't touch them......those are stinging spines. IO moth larvae eat many different plants. Were they all together in a group? IO's are gregarious in their early instars and then become solitary feeders until pupation. Last year I raised a bunch of them that I found on Redbud. Is this your cat? |
