The oak and pine processionaries: 2 similar but different species

Oak caterpillar and pine caterpillar: A different diet

The oak processionary caterpillar does not have the same life cycle as that of the pine and is not found on the same host tree. Indeed, the oak caterpillar develops mainly on deciduous oak trees. She moves in procession on the oak to feed. She stays on the same tree, unless she can't find enough to eat.
