A toxic invasive species of caterpillar have been identified In New Hampshire for the first time in 75 years. Experts urge anyone who spots the browntail moth caterpillars to avoid touching them.
Browntail moth caterpillars, a toxic invasive insect species, have been identified In New Hampshire for the first time in 75 years, according to the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Kyle Lombard, a forest entomologist with the state, said people should keep an eye for the creature’s distinguishing physical traits. The browntail moth first arrived in North America with European ships at the end of the 19th century, spreading across New England and the Atlantic coast of Canada. In the 20th century, a massive federal works project nearly eradicated the species, reducing its habitat to around Casco Bay in Maine.“It's likely not related to the climate because this thing is very adapted to cold weather.
