The Megalopyge opercularis is a moth of the family Megalopygidae. It has a number of common names, like asp caterpillar, puss caterpillar, woolly slug and puss moth.
This caterpillar is highly dangerous due to its venomous spines. Exposure to this caterpillar's fur-like spines leads to an immediate skin irritation. The pain is similar to bee, wasp or hornet stings. The reactions are often localized to the affected area. However, the reactions are usually severe. The reaction causes burning, nausea, headache, rashes, vomiting and blisters.
These caterpillars are seen from southeast Virginia to Florida and as far west as Missouri and Texas. They are also in Mexico and Central America.
If you are stung by a puss moth, asp caterpillar or puss caterpillar, get first aid right away. The spines need to be removed using cellophane tape. You can also use baking soda, ice packs or calamine lotion for the sting.

Russell's teapot
Russell's teapot is an analogy by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), to show that the philosophic burden of proof has on a person making a claim that cannot be proven false.
Russell used his analogy in for religion. He wrote that if he were to say without proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him because his claim could not be proven wrong.
Russell's teapot is still used to talk about the existence of God.

Burden of proof (philosophy)
The burden of proof (Latin: onus probandi) is the job of a person who is involved in a debate to show proof for their claim.
When people are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other one does not agree with, the one who makes the claim has the "burden of proof". It means he must show proof of that claim, especially when it is controversial.
Carl Sagan said that: "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" – which is known as the Sagan standard.
Often these philosophical debates moved from what the claim was to debating who has the "burden of proof" or the best proof for their claim.
