Mariposas e borboletas adultas raramente causam reações cutâneas, mas suas lagartas podem causar lesão pormeio da penetração de suas cerdas (espinhos ou cabelos) na pele. Em algumas famílias (Megalopygidae, Arctiidae e Saturniidae), as cerdas contêm veneno e produzem uma reação tóxica cutânea ou, mais raramente, sistêmica (erucismo). A reação observada depende da espécie e varia de irritação, dor ou queimação imediatas a urticária e edema retardados, anquilose de articulações dos dedos (Premolis spp.) e graves defeitos de coagulação sistêmica (Lonomia spp.) | |||
