RE: Pine processionary - not to be touched!

Best not to tamper with nature, especially if you don't know what it is, right!
The nests look so big for small caterpillars.
It's quite scary that a caterpillar's hairs and even the tiniest spider can cause severe allergic reactions or inject enough poison to cause a serious infection! That is their only defense though.
No touching nests🫣

The nests - they can contain a lot of these caterpillars.

That is indeed so incredible, a small insect, or just its hair, can cause these allergic reactions. Nature has its own laws, we should respect them. ;) And avoid these little creatures 😁

Oh my word, I would stay well clear of those nests if they have so many caterpillars!
Vindictive little creatures seem to be finding me these days; a spider or whatever fell on me from the ceiling this morning. I'm hoping it was an ant and not a spider, as it landed just below my neckline! I instinctively squashed it and tossed it. Then wondered what it was, as I had a nasty spider bite last year. I searched for the 'corpse'😉 but the evidence was nowhere to be found😅 I really don't need another spider bite!

Oh noooo, a spider? Well, we hope it was a little ant or a butterfly who just got tired and preferred to take a little rest. 😉 But, where was your parasol? You see, it is important to hold it always, everywhere 😁

Haha, now that's a plan. I need to carry it wherever I go😂 Thankfully, it couldn't have been a spider as my bosom has not swollen😅🤣 and no itchiness. I lived to see another day; unfortunately, the little critter I squashed did not🕷
