Urticating hairs of the brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea L.) are detectable in the air using apparatus designed for the collection of airborne microorganisms and pollen research studies. The hairs are produced by caterpillars and are distributed by air currents or via moths. They were collected in Bordeaux. In the laboratory a nycthemeral cycle of hair emission is observed and is correlated with the biological activities of these species.
