Title: Pine processionary

From quite a few posts on Facebook I've  seen from friends in GA over the last couple of days there would appear to be more about than normal.
Beware!!

Hi John,
Is this within an urbanisation (i.e. private) or on publicly owned roads?

Mike

Came across a string of them on a green at Bonalba golf course a few seasons back.

The little blighters were crossing the line of my putt!

It produced an interesting discussion on the rules for a while  :)

The reason I ask is that this, being an election year, Santa Pola council are more likely to act, if they're made aware of the problem.  Not necessarily the case in a private URB. of course

The chap who took the photo reported it to the council, they didn't want to know.
He is Spanish.
There presence  doesn't deter the countless number of Spanish families you see under the pine trees enjoying their afternoon long picnics does it
