Scientists Reveal Why Asp Caterpillar Stings Are So Excruciatingly Painful
July 13, 2023 - The team revealed that the venom of asp caterpillars, also known as puss caterpillars, contains a special protein that can form into a ring shape and poke holes in cells. In turn, the cells send powerful pain signals to the brain. This unique shape-shifting, hole-punching protein is what makes the caterpillar’s sting so effective, report the scientists in a paper published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
