| Pine Processionary Caterpillars; Cute? |
Each country we visit has it´s own little creatures of interest. Here in Andalucia we have our own little "devils in disguise" Pine Processionary Caterpillars
This is taken from the Grazalema Guide;
"When in Spain many people may wonder about scorpions, spiders and venomous snakes and will not be aware that they are much more likely to endanger themselves and their pets by getting too close to an innocent looking line of caterpillars that can be found crossing a pavement, road or footpath during the first months of each year.
The pine processionary caterpillar (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) will, during late winter/early spring, be coming out of pine trees and forming conspicuous snakelike lines."
See more about these charming little caterpillars from Grazalemaguide
To be fair, I live in the countryside and I have seen them once, that was two years ago, so don´t think they are walking around taking in the sights of Nerja. Just don´t eat them when you do see them :-)
