A member asked:
Are tiger moth dangerous to human beings in any way ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tiger Moth: Although the moth secretes a neurotoxin for its own protection against its predators, they do no harm to humans. I really would not eat one though, not necessarily due to its toxicity, but that little dust on the wings kinda sticks in your throat.
