Thank you for your comment, UdoSm. They are very similar in appearance and behavior. I should have mapped the image. It was taken in Mississippi, USA. The oak processionary is found only in Europe.

Thank you very much, J. García. I passed several oak trees with whose leaves had been eaten before I came to this one.

Good comment, Andy. It was definitely a feeding frenzy.

I didn't see much silk, but the colony had eaten all the leaves on several small oak trees near this one. Thanks for the visit, Malik.
