On Saturday I experienced the worst pain I think I’ve ever had!! This is a puss caterpillar aka asp! Felt like my finger was on fire!! I accidentally rub against it while trimming some branches at 7pm I was in so much pain until I finally fell asleep around 4am 🥲 I’m all better now

Oh my gosh!

I’ll never forget when I was about 10 years old we were walking in to my grandparents house im Houston for Thanksgiving with my great grandfather who was so old and scary to us. He was very tough and rough and he had missing fingers. He stopped and he looked and he said, “ THAT’S AN ASP”!!! and he squashed it with the end of his cane!

That was my only experience with one of these. Needless to say you two have left a big impression on me.
