Caterpillar on pine tree

A nest in a pine tree in the Taurus Mountains near Alanya, Turkey, bears the tell-tale signs of a Pine processionary moth infestation. The nest of Thaumetopoea pityocampa caterpillars can be seen on one of its branches, with defoliation and damage to the surrounding needles evident. Pine trees absorb water through their needles which helps them withstand arid conditions. These caterpillars are known for their toxicity, causing skin irritation and respiratory problems in humans and animals alike. As forest management techniques and climate change adaptation become increasingly important, the survival of ecosystems and biodiversity in the face of pests like the Pine processionary moth remains a crucial challenge
