Oh, I hope you didn't touch the nest or them. It can be toxic, really dangerous can be. My friend had to go the hospital because of the reaction.
For dogs, sometimes life treating if they get in touch with the Pine processionary caterpillars.
Btw, they are beautiful, on the photos :D and your video is awesome, those close shots are great...and the way of explication :D hehehe
I'm lucky when it comes to these caterpillars :) they don't cause me breathing problems and other dangerous reactions, just a bit of itching on the skin if I touch them by accident ... fortunately with the nests :) the things are even better for my health ... I had to hold the nest with one hand while photographing the minuscule spider with the other, and everything was ok ... fortunately ... this time ... I read somewhere that this is never granted, and if I had no problems this time, I could have them during another close encounter in the future ... so, this is probably my last post about this subject :)
Last post about the subject 🤣
But that is good, if you don't have reaction, just itching on the skin. You are lucky 😉
Here, if you see a nest you can call the town hall and they are supposed to sent someone to take it away from the tree before the carterpillars come out.
When my son was lot smaller, he had a reaction that we think it was maybe connected to those processionary carterpillars. We went to a pine forest and spent a day there (It was February or March). We saw the nests, but didn't touch them. Even then, he had red spots in his arms and back when we came home..
Anyway, very good post, didn't want to ruin it with the toxic thingy of those creatures :))
:) Their toxicity it's a cool topic for a casual conversation :D
Sí, I mean da, it was cool to talk a bit 🙂
