Euproctis limbalis, the bordered browntail moth, is a moth of the subfamily Lymantriinae first described by Gottlieb August Wilhelm Herrich-Schäffer in 1855.[1] It is known from Australia, including Queensland and New South Wales.
Hairs on the caterpillar and cocoon may can cause mild to severe skin irritations.[2]
The caterpillars have been recorded as pests feeding on leaves and earheads of sorghum and other millets.[3]
