Yellowtail moth

The Yellowtail moth or ashen moth is a species of moth found in northeastern South America, and contact with the urticating hairs of adult female moths is known to cause a cutaneous condition called the Caripito itch. These moths are mainly found along the mangrove swamps of Venezuela and Guyana.
