Pretty sure he won’t do that again anytime soon. Lesson learned

Pretty sure that's a buck moth caterpillar. Do you have oaks nearby?

Probably feels like a hornet sting. They can burn pretty bad. Hope your kid is doing ok.

Looks like a wood asp. I stepped on one of those when I was a kid and it hurt like Hell. My Mom took a cigarette and chewed the tobacco and stuck it on the bite. Probably would have worked better if it had been pot. THC probably works better for pain and inflammation than nicotine.

I think wood asps are the flannel moth caterpillar, which are much hairier and kinda look like a shaggy dog.

I would rather eat that bugger than step barefoot on one
 
Could've been worse. Could've been a Lego.
C’mon man. Kids don’t step on Legos. That’s reserved for exclusively for barefoot dads walking in the hallway in the middle of the night. Legos and Barbie shoes. Puts any bug, scorpion, caterpillar to shame.

No idea what that satan’s spawn is, but if it’s anything like the white asp I accidentally touched just a few years ago in my mid 30s, then your 4YO is way tougher than I am.
 
I hate those things. One of those bastards fell out of a tree into my shirt collar when I was about 10 and stung the back of my neck. It hurt for quite a while.

I was about 12 and climbed up a huge oak tree in our front yard for the first time . That little shit went down the back of my shorts ! Hurt like hell on my ass!!
 
2 yo daughter was stung by an ass asp last year.

She was inconsolable for 3 hours.

So an asp has some mild, but painful poison. Not life threatening (unless allergic reaction). So how is the poison transmitted? Fangs? Stinger? Teeth? Or is it just those pokey things on its back?

I had one crawl up my pants leg when I was probably 5ish. Hurt like hell.
