Apparently, the buck moth gets around. We’ve been hearing lots of stories about them since Paul’s sting. Including:
– Paul’s friend from the Unicycle Polo meeting sat on one while in the last trimester of her pregnancy, resulting in very uncomfortable bruising and a significant allergic reaction.*
– Our neighbor stepped on one while washing his car (bare feet), which caused him to wince in pain and jump in the air on one foot… bringing the other foot down on a second pesky caterpillar. From what we understand from his wife, although a painful and unfortunate experience, it was incredibly funny to watch.
– Local pet owners become vigilant with fear that their animal will step on one. Everyone has a story about “some poor dog…”<\/p>\n
