While relaxing on a bench, they noticed an unusual little creature covered in fur that seemed to resemble a harmless insect. The children were eager to reach out and touch it, but Leslie Howe, who was at the Gwinnett County park with her baby and two other children, had a nagging sense of caution.
Leslie took advantage of the sunny weather and brought her children to enjoy the day outdoors. Despite their curiosity, Leslie wisely discouraged her children from approaching the strange creature, a decision that would later prove to be a very fortunate one.
It turns out that Leslie had unwittingly protected her children from a potentially dangerous insect. The creature in question was a pus caterpillar, which, unlike ordinary caterpillars, has poisonous spines that can cause severe pain upon contact. A bite from this caterpillar can cause serious illness and excessive sweating.
Caution is advised when exploring outdoor areas, especially in parks and places with dense vegetation. If you come across such a caterpillar, keep a safe distance and make sure children do not come into contact with it. The poisonous pus caterpillar has caused considerable pain in places like Florida and North Carolina, where some have suffered painful reactions after touching or being dropped by these insects.
Please spread this warning widely to protect others. It is better to be safe than sorry and not endanger the health of our children.

It’s a good idea to frequently check under and around your car in this part of the country to make sure that animals hasn’t established a home there. A kind-hearted woman decided to step in when she noticed a newborn deer sleeping under someone else’s car tire.
This image on Facebook went viral after a woman published it to alert the driver of the car of a newborn deer that was sleeping under a tire.
The answers were sincere and sometimes funny. Joshua The most well-liked comment to date is this one from Kevin Nye:
It’s obvious that the woman was ancient, but how? Why didn’t she just send you a message if you saw her, rather than alerting you to the presence of a blasted deer beneath the tire? I need some clarification!
A different comedian hoped the driver knew how to read and write. I guess you can’t always infer that from the way certain drivers operate their vehicles.
Among the more compassionate people who appreciated this woman’s action was Cyntha Atkinson:
I appreciate you leaving the note, sweet woman.
I’m grateful, Cyntha. One must respect the courage of people who decide to change things instead of continuing with their life as normal.
Would you have tried to entice the deer to come out from under the automobile, left a note, or carried on with your life?
