IMG_3370_cocoon.jpg Nests of the Pine Processionary Caterpiller (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) in pine trees in the Sierra Nevada mountains of southern Spain. These moth caterpillars attack and eat the pine needles, damaging the trees. They are responding to climate change by surviving at ever higher altitudes in the mountains as temperatures rise, allowing them to damage more trees. These caterpillars have a very effective defence mechanism. They are covered in thousands of tiny poisonous hairs called Trichomes. If handled these minute hairs cause irritation. They even release these trichomes into the air if the nest is approached.

366W5086_garden tiger moth.jpg A Garden Tiger Moth (Arctia caja). Moth species are declining rapidly as a result of climate change and habitat loss. They are a key indicator species of the health of an ecosystem and vitally important in pollination of many plant species. Other species of moths that are pests and attack forestry plantations are increasing in number leading to increased damage. Milder winters allow many insects to overwinter more successfully

IMG_7739_caterpillar.jpg An unusually dry spring led to tinder dry conditions on moorland near Littleborough UK. A discarded cigarette set fire to the moor on the 25th of May. The flames were fanned by strong winds and destroyed over 300 acres of moorland. This upland habitat is home to many uncommon ground nesting birds including Curlew golden Plover and Twite. Many nests were destroyed. Global warming has caused many areas of the world to become drier and more likely to burn. This picture shows moth and butterfly caterpillars killed by the fire
