Which continent and latitude? Too fuzzy to be willowfly.
Asia, latitude just below the tropic of Cancer. What are willow flies ??
Willowfly is a bug whose larvae form are a bunch of worms on a tree with black bodies and repeating yellow pattern, but those are in the americas so this can’t be it.
This could be Gypsy Moth larvae but I’m not certain.
We have a species of these in Australia, if they are anything like ours DO NOT TOUCH, you will regret it.
Isn’t this true of basically any species in Australia? 😏
I think the Bag-Shelter you’re thinking of is usually more brown in color? Hopefully they stay in Australia.
Not really
I don’t know but I don’t want to get involved.
Looks like these ones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_processionary
Thanks for sharing this link.
Caterpillars?
Absolutely 💯🤗
No it’s Aliens
Definitely a bunch of caterpillars
Could they be line processionary caterpillars? If so, their hairs can cause severe issues (including blindness).
I typically avoid caterpillars in the wild, especially hairy ones.
You can contact your local health/environmental agency and request an ID from a professional. Where I live it normally takes a day or two and they can confirm if it poses any danger.
I’m not bothered if they possess any danger or not… In any case, my uncle burnt the thing down.
😵💫
Looks like a regular caterpillar orgy to me.
