These pests are a real worry for dog owners. The area around us is covered in Mediterranean Pines which are home to this insect. You can easily spot the nest (above).
The pine processionary caterpillar, is so called because of its habit of forming a long snake like procession at certain times of the year. They're coming down from their nests around now.
Don't let your dog, go anywhere near them.

How right you are Alex. We're keeping a close eye on our boy as he likes to eat pretty much anything he finds. Our neighbours had quite a few nests abut they fished them down and burned them this week.
