Caterpillar train

Reason #43: bumping into a train of caterpillars after a storm

Must have been during last night’s Jugo storm that these guys were thrown off their tree. Now they’ve formed a train in a group effort to get back home. Either that, or it’s some weird butt-sniffing ritual characteristic of Brački caterpillars.

Croatian-raised readers of the blog will naturally think  of this classic from our collective socialist childhood experience:

UPDATE: I later found out that these guys are called Pine Processionaries (borov prelac in Croatian), which is very fitting, as you can see.
