Hi All
I noticed these caterpillars making their way down silken threads from one
of
my trees.

Can anyone put a name to them and what they eventually turn into please.

WOW! "Transmogrify"! Well I was going to use that word but felt it might
require some translation so I just opted for the tried and tested "turn into"
as I felt this was more comprehensible. WOOPS! Sorry....understandable. The
same goes for the possibly more correct "metamorphose into".
I am sorry about that but you see..I have never been to Borstall. Is it a nice
town?
Phil
