Strange, creepy and squelchy !

I've never seen anything like this.
Yesterday just before the awful rain, we noticed some yellow
caterpillars on the path. On closer inspection, there were hundreds of
them! We have an Irish poplar in the centre of the front lawn, and it
was heaving with these caterpillars. all crawling down the trunk,
across the paving stones and onto my car tyres! They seemed to be
attracted to them. At one point, we could hardly see the rubber! A
moving mass of them!
I refused to drive my car.....but then the rain came and the poor old
caterpillars got drowned and washed away.
I've never seen anything like this in my life, and I have to say, it
freaked me out! What if the rain hadn't
come...............? Spooky music!

Did you think to take a picture and give/sell it to a newspaper?

also could send the picture to some agricultural thing to find out the what
and why of it.

Yes, there were far too many for me - I was glad when the rain stopped
us from going out. Don't think I could have been responsible for so
many deaths )-: Don'tknow what the attraction to the car tyres was all
about though.

I saw a photograph on Google - a car completely covered with the
little blighters! I think these ones were sawfly caterpillers, they
can totally trash a tree, the one on our lawn is looking decidedly
unhappy, the leaves are all shrivelled and falling, maybe we will have
to take it down...don't want to but don't know what else to do. Must
Google for help.
