EN: stinging caterpillar
Nature's little scam artist. It looks fluffy and cute like a cat's fur, tempting you to pet it. But DON'T. One touch and you'll be scratching like you have a major life crisis. It's the ultimate 'look but don't touch' creature of the Philippines.
Literally 'cat's fur' (balahibo ng pusa).
The name refers to its appearance, not its texture.
