BIZARRE SUMMER SPECTACLE

While out on my bike on Frodsham Marshes I came across a line of elderflower bushes that appeared to have been covered in a tangle of webs.

Upon closer inspection the 'webs' were interlinked, attached the to ground and had tens of thousands of caterpillars crawling all over them.

This is the second year in a row I've seen them and the same scene continued for about 400 yards along this track. No other shrubs or trees were affected.

Can Springwatch help solve this? Watch the video on my YouTube site to see it all http://youtu.be/H7WaFh8t8NA
