What moths leave slime?

Certain species of moths, particularly the larvae (caterpillars) of some moths, can produce a slimy or sticky substance as a defense mechanism. For example, the caterpillars of the Giant Leopard Moth and the Lonomia obliqua can secrete a slime that can deter predators. This slime may serve to make them less palatable or difficult to capture. However, adult moths generally do not produce slime.
