Has anyone noticed the amount of caterpillars on the higher lakeland fells recently? Recci'ing on Clough Head and the Dodds I noticed thousands of them. At first I tried not to stand on them but there were that many, they could not be avoided, poor blighters.
A mate on Skiddaw & Gt. Calva said they were there too!
On a more technical note does anyone know why there seems to be so many and, more importantly what may they turn into??
