Title: Processionary Caterpillars.
Post by: JayB on January 08, 2016, 02:50:34 PM
Thought I would post a little warning for all those who suffer from the processionary caterpillars that at least in these parts on the Costa Blanca they are on the move now. I spied this lot travelling through my yard as my neighbour has quite a number of nests in his pines but to be fair they are everywhere at the moment. This looks to be a bad season for them.

And aside from doing damage to the trees they live in they can cause terrible reactions in people who come across them and even be fatal to pets.

So I thought I'd post a heads up for everyone.
