| Abstract (English): | The injuries caused by butterflies are known as lepidopterism and erucism depending on each case.The Lepidoptera families with the most public health importance in Colombia are Megalopygidae, Arctiidae, and Saturniidae and in this last one, the Hemileucinae subfamily presents the most serious cases with severe hemorrhagic syndromes, mainly because of caterpillars from the Lonomia genus. The larvae contain enzymes which act on different components; Lonomia aquelonus (Saturniidae) acts on the hemostatic system causing hemorrhage that can cause death. Accidents by Lonomia aquelonus (Saturniidae) deserve special attention since they have been the cause of numerous cases of erucism in southern Colombia, some of them fatal. An increased number of Lonomia cases have been observed in Colombia in recent years but the under-registration continues to be very high and the knowledge about the topic is meager; in general the population groups mostly affected by eurcism are young people between 15 and 45 years old, mainly farmworkers. Because of the potential risk this represents, added to the. general lack of knowledge about the pathology produced by poisons Lepidoptera in humans and specially about the natural history of the species causing poisoning and the ecoepidiomogical aspects, this article intends to contextualze the impact of these poisonous animals on the Colombian population health through concept assessment and presenting theoretical foundations that contribute to this issue.

| Abstract (Spanish): | El accidente por mariposa se le conoce como erucismo y lepidopterismo dependiendo del tipo de caso. Las familias de lepidópteros que tienen importancia sanitaria en Colombia son Megalopygidae, Arctiidae, Saturniidae y dentro de esta la subfamilia Hemileucinae es la que presenta los casos más graves con síndromes hemorrágicos graves, principalmente por las orugas del género Lonomia. Las larvas contienen enzimas que actúan sobre diferentes componentes, Lonomia actúa sobre el sistema hemostático provocando hemorragias que pueden conducir a la muerte. Son de especial atención los accidentes por Lonomia aquelonus (Saturniidae), que en los últimos años fue motivo de numerosos casos de erucismo en el sur de Colombia, algunos mortales. En los últimos años en Colombia se ha observado un aumento de casos de erucismo, pero el subregistro sigue siendo muy alto y el conocimiento de la temática es exiguo; en general, el grupo poblacional que más se ve afectado por los casos de erucismo son personas jóvenes de entre 15 y 45 años de edad, principalmente personas trabajadoras del campo. A causa del riesgo potencial que esto representa, sumado a la falta de conocimiento general sobre la patología que producen los venenos de Lepidoptera en humanos y en especial sobre la historia natural de las especies causantes de los envenenamientos, y de los aspectos eco-epidemiológicos, se pretende con este artículo contextualizar el impacto de estos animales venenosos en la salud de los Colombianos, dando valoración de conceptos y presentando fundamentos teóricos que aporten a esta temática.
