Title: PROCESSIONAL CATERPILLARS

Have just see a long line of 'Processional Caterpillars' . I first drenched them in lighter fuel and then set light to the buggers. I also found this site to be very informative

Keep an eye out for them apparently 'mid to late February' they are at their most dangerous.

Timely advice, a friend has just had to have his dog put down because of them. I have just been around the area here and torched 10 nests
