Thaumetopoea pityocampa


Or processionary pine caterpillars to you and me. They're beginning to drop from their 'tents' in the trees and form their strange chains, sometimes metres in length. The main thing is not to touch them, as their abundant hairs are extremely irritant. This is NOT a photo of me, by the way. The school where the Better Half works has put out warnings about going near them, as has the Pinède park in Juan les Pins, which, as its name suggests, is a perfect place for these hairy monsters to colonise.
