The soft, furry, harmlesslooking
animals were found in
2" the yard of Mrs. J. E. Rooker
on the Airport Road this week,
[j* Apparently they are the same
type of creatures found earlier
* this year near Durham and
called the "wooly slug."
It is described as looking
like a cross between a snail
and a caterpillar, with brown
hair like a mouse's, and with
bright spots along his underside.
One of the anicals was turn
ed over to F. W. Reams, Warren
Agricultural Agent, and
two were given the science department
of the John Graham
High School.
"We do not have any idea
cs as to its geographical distrid
bution and living habits of this
n- animal," Reams said yesterday.
iy He said that one of the anis.
mals captured near Durham
il- had been sent to the Department
of Zoology at the Unile
versity of North Carolina in
n- Chapel Hill for study but that
it an analysis of this study was
of not available as yet.
There have been no fatalities
reported from the sting in the
a areas of North Carolina in
i- which the "wooly slug" has
5 been found, but Dr. John Aril
nold of Chapel Hill's Memorial

ity of the sting being fatal is
ic "entirely conceivable".

is have gone into shock as a reii
salt of the sting, Dr. Arthur

h Usual reaction to the sting

swelling and reddening at the
