Processionary caterpillars

At this time of year these are everywhere . They are very dangerous to animals as they are toxic and spray out fine hairs which are extremely harmful to everything that gets in their way.

Follow the leader. We get hairy caterpillars here and they are toxic. I got one of the hairs from a caterpillar on my toe and it was so painful.

Brilliant capture (and they look so little and harmless!)
