#03548c;\">Processionary moths: here&#8217;s how to recognize them and prevent you and your dog from having devastating close encounters with these killer caterpillars.<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The processionary moth caterpillar is a highly destructive insect to the foliage of pines and oaks, trees on which it normally nests.<\/p>\n<p>At the larval stage, it appears as a caterpillar covered with thick urticating hair.<\/p>\n<p>The processionary moth larvae, having reached maturity in early March, leave their nests and descend the logs to the ground in a line, marching as if in &#8220;procession&#8221; (hence the name processionary moth) in search of an ideal place to bury themselves to weave their cocoon and transform from chrysalis to moth.<\/p>\n<p>Well, yes: the nocturnal &#8220;triangular butterflies&#8221; we admire during the summer are none other than adult processionary moths.<\/p>\n<p>Caterpillar processions last at least until the end of April.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Sai-riconoscere-i-nidi-del-bruco-della-processionaria\"><span style=\"color: #03548c;\"><strong>Can you recognize the nests of the processionary moth caterpillar?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong>Processionary moth nests<\/strong>, where larvae overwinter, are recognizable even from a distance: they are pyriform in shape and bright white in color.<\/p>\n<p>They can be well seen placed on the tops and apexes of pine and oak branches even in the city.<\/p>\n<p>So if you spot them, immediately move away from infested areas.<\/p>\n<p>And if you stay preemptively away from pine and oak forests during walks with your dog, that&#8217;s even better.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Perch\u00e9-il-bruco-della-processionaria-\u00e8-cos\u00ec-pericoloso\"><span style=\"color: #03548c;\"><strong>Why is the processionary moth caterpillar so dangerous?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The danger lies in the <strong>stinging hairs<\/strong> that cover the body of the processionary moth.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, these hairs are soaked in formic acid, a strongly caustic substance that caterpillars secrete from their glands to defend themselves against their natural predators.<\/p>\n<p>And in addition, the hooked shape of the processionary moth&#8217;s hairs allows it to &#8220;latch on&#8221; to the victim, causing reactions to the skin, mucous membranes, eyes and respiratory tract.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Quanto-pu\u00f2-essere-devastante-per-il-tuo-cane-il-contatto-con-il-bruco-della-processionaria\"><strong><span style=\"color: #03548c;\">How devastating can contact with the processionary moth caterpillar be to your dog?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Symptoms from contact, or worse, ingestion, in dogs are immediate and obvious:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A <strong>sudden and intense salivation<\/strong>, caused by the inflammatory process in the mouth, esophagus and stomach<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>tongue<\/strong> may <strong>swell<\/strong> to such an extent that it may even cause the death of the animal by suffocation<\/li>\n<li>in other cases the stinging hairs, due to the process of destruction of the cellular tissue of the tongue itself, may cause <strong>total or partial necrosis of the affected areas<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Other relevant symptoms are fever, refusal of food, vomiting, and even hemorrhagic diarrhea.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Un-intervento-immediato-pu\u00f2-salvare-la-vita-del-tuo-cane\"><span style=\"color: #03548c;\"><strong>Immediate intervention can save your dog&#8217;s life<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>In the unfortunate event that your dog has a close encounter with the processionary moth caterpillar, it is imperative that you act as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>A first aid operation that can prove very useful is to remove residual hair from the oral cavity.<\/p>\n<p>Do this through copious washing of the animal&#8217;s mouth with water but be sure to wear latex gloves to avoid in turn touching the stinging hairs.<\/p>\n<p>It is vital that you take the animal to your trusted veterinarian as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Quali-sono-per-l-uomo-gli-effetti-del-contatto-con-il-bruco-della-processionaria\"><span style=\"color: #03548c;\"><strong>What are the effects to humans of contact with the processionary moth caterpillar?<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The damage caused by contact with processionary moth hairs can be very serious for you as well.<\/p>\n<p>In case of skin contact<strong> <\/strong>painful rashes occur that can then spread all over the body due to the shedding of hair facilitated by sweat and rubbing of clothing.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, contact with the eyes immediately results in the onset of painful conjunctivitis.<\/p>\n<p><em>Even worse in case of inhalation or ingestion: the hairs irritate the respiratory tract and inflame the mucous membranes.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"Vuoi-sapere-come-difenderti-dall-invasione-della-processionaria\"><strong><span style=\"color: #03548c;\">Do you want to know how to defend yourself against the invasion of the processionary moth?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Pest control<\/em> of processionary moth caterpillars has been mandatory in Italy since 2008, when it was determined that their presence posed a serious threat to human and animal health and the survival of various tree species.<\/p>\n<p>There are several remedies to eradicate the very dangerous processionary moth caterpillars:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>pesticides<\/strong>, directly spraying the larvae<\/li>\n<li><strong>entomological glue<\/strong>, to be applied to logs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Biological insecticides <\/strong>namely the bacterium <em>Bacillus Thuringiensis Kurstaki<\/em> that paralyzes larvae by damaging their nerve centers<\/li>\n<li><strong>pheromone traps<\/strong>, which attract males thus preventing them from meeting with females and consequently fertilizing and reproducing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"Tali-interventi-devono-ovviamente-essere-praticati-da-professionisti-del-settore-in materia-di-disinfestazione\"><strong><span style=\"color: #03548c;\">Such interventions must, of course, be practiced by professionals in the field of pest control<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Be wary of do-it-yourself methods and do not resort to the use of folk tradition substances, which are dangerous both in handling and &#8216;use, especially in the presence of children and animals, as well as harmful to the environment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have any questions, please contact the veterinary
