ORIGINAL: Lucylastic That certainly didnt help:) Here is the pic of La Donalda hair piece, its actually a caterpillar This particular caterpillar was found at Posada Amazonas lodge in Tambopata, Peru, and it is almost a fully grown caterpillar belonging to the family Megalopygidae, also collectively known as Flannel Moths. This family of moths is known for having hairy caterpillars, which look all fluffy, cute and cuddly And although it may look inviting to you, hidden beneath the soft hairs are poisonous spines. If they are handled the spines may break, releasing a chemical which causes excruciating pain, and will also pierce the skin. It can also cause an extreme allergic reaction resulting in rashes, blisters, inflammation, and breathing difficulty. So, if you're in Peru or anywhere in North America or the New World Tropics where these are usually found, and you come across these, do remember the hidden spines and don't pick it up!
Excellent detective work Lucy! Your wonderful work in locating the origins of the mop in South America raises an obvious question: IS THE TRUMP'S MOP AN ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT? To allay public anxiety on this critical issue, shouldn't the Trump be forced to reveal publicly the mop's immigration papers and prove the mop's legal status? The thought of an illegal mop gracing the Trump's pate is simply too horrifying to contemplate.
