Tips for Walking in the Woods 🐛⛰️

Published on: 27-06-2024

Spread of the moth known as Orgyia trigotephras: the National Park reminds visitors of the precautions for using the trails.

We remind you that in the wooded areas (particularly Gibéle and Montagna Grande) larvae of Orgyia trigotephras are still present. This species is found in various areas of the Mediterranean basin and has always been known in southern Italy and Sicily.

In order to avoid contact with the urticating hairs that characterize the caterpillars of this species and to limit the spread of the larvae as much as possible, the Park Authority recommends:

  • - Avoid entering densely wooded and bushy areas (particularly Gibéle and Montagna Grande);

  • - Walk in the center of the trails, avoiding getting close to plants at the edges, where larvae are more likely to be encountered;

  • - Avoid bringing children and pets into areas where the presence of the Lepidoptera has been reported;

  • - Wear long pants and shirts that cover the arms to avoid skin contact;

  • - Carefully check clothing at the end of excursions and inspect the vehicle interior to reduce the risk of spreading the larvae;

  • - Avoid direct contact with Orgyia trigotephras larvae. If handling is necessary, always use gloves to prevent skin irritation or other reactions.
