I've just found this pic I took of the wee . . . creatures last spring [before I realized quite how dangerous they are ] - I couldn't get them all in the shot, but there must have been a couple of hundred anyway. . . . . . I'm getting the burner ready for them this year! Cat's motto: "No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it." - Unknown    Report

Last night on the news they showed the army having to deal with them in Belgium, it is so bad.  They said they were in oak trees. Cattle were being kept indoors because of them.   http://www.rtl.be/page/rtlinfo/articles/societearticle/227.aspx?lg=1&articleid=74245   animalaidsaintaubin/ New site Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful    Report

Almost  the same thing Christine, but they are oak processionary catapillars and they do cause a lot of damage in the oak forests in Portugal!! I have not seen these but they sound just as dangerous! I didn't know that they were that far North... John. "There's an old saying in Tennessee - I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on... shame on you.

Christine, I would love to have been a 'fly on the wall' at the end of the last ice age listening to the scientists talking about global warming? I have always wondered when they will realise that it's all happened before... In the mid 1800s it was reconed that London would come to a complete halt. Not because there were so many people but because London would be 4 foot deep in horse muck. That didn't happen either. I'll bet there were some lovely roses about though... John.
