Though the Kamitetep may be small in size, it can cause bruises and itching on our skin. They look weird, yet you’ve definitely seen these small-sized caterpillars that often cling to walls and furniture in the house, more often than not.
Some people do not know that it is a species of caterpillar that can result in bumps, bruises, and itching on the human body. The cocoon, species ‘phereoca uterella’ can cause bruising as a result of its bite that leaves a “hair” as big as a needle.
As per Wikipedia, Phereoeca uterella is a species of moth and is commonly known as the plaster bagworm, and it is often called the household casebearer. It is found in warm, humid climates throughout the states of America. It is common in houses.
The impacts of the bruises may last for weeks. Usually, these caterpillars will leave hairs where they sting or bite the human skin. It is that hair that will lead to bruising and swelling, with severe pain and itching. The itching caused by these caterpillars can be treated by applying anti-itch cream or ointment.
The larvae in it live in shells that form a flattened sheath, while the outside cocoon serves as the process of metamorphosis into its final stages.
Additionally, the cocoon is composed of silk fibers mixed with sand, and dust, and even of soil.
