Off topic, but we have 'Procession caterpillars' as we call them living on
Golden wattles (A pycnantha) around the garden.  I noticed a procession the
other day - leaving a wattle that had been completely denuded, and heading
directly towards a couple of other wattles about 50 metres away - how did
they know which direction to go for the next meal?   Fascinating things.
