Dunno but it looks like something to mimic for fly fishing

I saw a bunch of those things in Hallettsville on Monday. I’d never seen anything like em. Guy said they sting like a scorpion

Looks like a don't touch it worm!

I get them every year at my house. Yes they will light you up

Every spring the oak trees are covered with them. I hate them and I’m allergic to them. If I sit in a chair that they have been on I will. Team out in a rash and if one falls on me it leaves a big welp.

Wow.
I didn’t expect that.
No help here, but I don’t think I’d touch it.

I was thinking the same thing - like something a fly-tier whipped up while on acid.
