If it's in your pine trees you've got problems, they are called processional caterpillars and they need to be cleared professionally, do not disturb them because the give off short hairs which can kill your pets if ingested, even dousing them in petrol and setting light to them will not kill them.I know because I have tried. Get them diagnosed quickly.
