Very impressive !!
On radio this aft, the caterpillars of the Oak Processionary Moth are exploding all over oak trees in south London.
They are very nasty creatures if a tiny bristle hits a human
, and anyone anywhere who finds some is asked to report it to The Forestry Commission so they can take speedy action.

Just my impression - they all look to be on the small side ?? Sometimes it's possible to sense that one of the pix is of a big moth.
