    How horrible is it that they can't even show it on the internet?

    Or is that what your internet will say when the caterpillars have eaten through the cables? Will it be a bit like that film, with the ants, Phase 3 ?

    'The pine processionary caterpillar is responsible for most of the defoliation of southern Europe'

    Interesting. I've not been to Southern Europe in a while but it seemed pretty foliated to me.

    Thanks for sorting the link Kevin. Nasty little buggers - we saw 2 nests while out on a walk last week. We have to be really careful with the dogs.
    And watch for snakes when swimming in the lakes. And snakes in the pool.

    I may stay indoors and listen to music

    It's the little snakes you have to be careful of.

    We we had a pine tree full of those catapillers and snakes in our garden , owls sitting calling in the tree outside the bedroom window nearly every night, bats living in the attic , loads of birds ( the feathered kind) wildlife is very good in rural France
