⚠️ Should You Be Worried?
In most cases—no.
These caterpillars are just passing through.
But caution is wise:
Risk
Advice
Don’t touch them!
Some species have irritating hairs that cause rashes, itching, or respiratory issues
Keep pets away
Dogs who sniff or eat them can get mouth ulcers or severe allergic reactions
Don’t try to break the chain
It disorients them and stresses the group
👉 Best action? Observe from a distance. Take photos. Let them pass.
🌿 Where Were They Going?
That’s the mystery.
Likely destinations:
Underground to pupate (transform into moths)
To a new tree to build a nest
Away from a disturbed habitat
They’ll disappear as quietly as they came—leaving behind only silk threads and awe.
❤️ Final Thought: Nature Is Stranger Than Fiction
You don’t need a jungle or a rainforest to witness wonder.
Sometimes, all it takes is:
A quiet garden
A curious eye
And the courage to look closer
Because real magic isn’t in fairy tales.
It’s in the grass.
In the unseen.
In 150 tiny creatures walking in perfect sync—like they’ve rehearsed for centuries.
And when you see it…
You won’t forget it.
Even if you scream first.
