Euproctis lutea, the fresh-water mangrove itchy caterpillar,[1] is a species of moth of the family Erebidae.

[2] The larvae feed on Lycopersicon esculentum, Begonia species, Myosotis arvensis, Rosa odorata, Barringtonia acutangula and Planchonia careya.

Full-grown larvae reach a length of about 15 mm, and their hairs can lead to intense itching after contact with human skin.

The moth was first described in European scientific literature by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775.
