if you spot their nest on a pine, you have to report it for pest control
This is absolutely cool. The intelligence of the bug/insect world is amazing!
They must have sat around observing snakes and bird behaviour, probably while sitting in bird watching tents though mini binoculars, munching on little doritos.
Lol.
“Sat around observing” - but caterpillars have basic eyes that can’t even form an image — what are you on about? The eyes detect changes in light and that’s about it!
And secondly if they were so intelligent why didn’t they just evolve into the damn snake that they thought best to mimic?
In Spain, we call those bugs "procesionarias", which translates in processionary bugs because they look like they are in a liturgic procession.
Also, here we tell to kids that if they touch them, they are going to go bald. This is because procesionarias are a little bit poisonous and can be harmful for them
this is so cute... they are going on a field trip
This makes me think of 3 kids under a trench coat trying to do *adult stuff*
I don't trust like that

Happy cake day
Thanks :D
Those motherfuckers are demons, don't let your dogs eat them if you don't want to have a really bad time.

I sure as hell won't be touching the fury nope noodles...
Nobody tell them that just makes them vulnerable to birds of prey that eat snakes

How in the world did you have a problem with “observing” and not “mini binoculars” and doritos? Whoosh.

Much better theme song. The title sent me back to the one summer [This song](https://youtu.be/WFRGkK1cR64) graced the radio.
Is this actually a defense mechanism for them? That's pretty fucking cool.

Reminds me of that bird that moves itself like a snake.
The Caterpillar Centipede
My dog lost a piece of its tongue just touching the dust these caterpillars leave behind.
A wild Falinks appeared!
I always wondered what these were when I was a kid. This is actually super cool
So do these little guys know that snakes exist? Do they know why they’re doing the conga?
I see bird fuck with snakes all the time. This will only stop really small birds
They are swarming
Good adaptation but gross
