  2. It only brushed against his arm but he said he felt intense pain and burning right away.. He used tape to try to pull any of the needles out and ran cold water over it
     
  3. Looks like a little leaf eating bug

  8. no that's a spot on the catapillara back.

    It fools you into thinking its just a leaf with a hole.in it

    As for the sting, its just a painful.chemical burn. It will heal

  11. While it isn't easy to say what does what when it comes to some things in nature, I think the dot is more supposed to mimic an eye. If you've ever seen a jumping spider hunt, you'll see them avoid the eyes of their prey and pounce when they're looking away. So when it looks like a big eye on it, a predator that avoids the eyes will be fooled into thinking there is a big ass eye staring at it. I can't really think of a reason a predator or even competition would care if it looked like a leaf with a hole in it.
