I presume these are moth caterpillars. I feel that I would know if they were rhopalocera cats.
This nest of cats was seen today, 25 February, on a Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo) on the outskirts of Marseille.
They are about 8 mm long.
I really am out of my depth, but are those brown spots indicative of the Brown-tail (Euproctis chrysorrhoea) ?
Any ideas anyone ?
Thanks
