Any idea what’s going on here people ??? 
 

Hedgerow at the side of a busy 30mph and footpath, never seen nothing like it before and only on the last/end section of the hedge…

Moth caterpillar webs, not as bad as a room infested with spider mite webs when you have to vacuum the plants ?️?

Nice one buddy, cheers… 

Hope you got your spider mite problem sorted ?

Yep - caterpillars :thumbs:

 

You might find something interesting in there.

 ............ I found this little fella at work a couple of weeks ago - it's a Puss moth. It gets it's name because it's face is cat like.

It's normally bought in clones, that's why you should always quarantine them.Cause a lot of trouble in the UK, I once saw an attic getting fogged to kill off spider mites, we went outside and it looked like the roof was on fire with smoke leaking out everywhere ??

Invasive caterpillars they weave that for safety while they eat underneath it , getting common here in Dorset , it’s shame farmers don’t torch them it would stop them spreading .

I'm not sure that it would have much of an effect mate - there's a growing section of folk that are keeping and breeding furry moths as pets/an interest.

There's some mental stuff out there mate......... we had an Elephant Hawk moth larvae in the garden a few years ago - it was a horrible looking thing and, I didn't know what it was at the time but, it produces a very cool moth :thumbs:
