These insects are called fire caterpillars in my village. They include plant-eating insects such as leaves, leaf stalks, grass and other small trees whose soft stems are easy to chew. This venomous insect can cause itching and heat on the part it touches, usually reacting on human skin. This caterpillar has green liquid and thorns, it is not as sharp as other thorns but if we are exposed to these thorns, we will feel heat and and can be transmitted to other body parts. If you see this caterpillar, it's better to throw it away, don't let you hold or play with the caterpillar, it is very dangerous because it will interfere with your activities as long as you are itchy and hot in the part that is infested. How to cure it using warm ash taken from an artificial kitchen or furnace, take the ashes and place them in a cloth after which they are rubbed on the skin affected by the caterpillar liquid or you can also use oil.
