| Re: Caterpillar ID and advice needed urgently Thanks for the replies so far 
I'm having a huge problem (conscience?) with the thought that these living things might be burned alive - guess I'm a softie!
Could they be removed from their current location and released somewhere miles away in habitat that isn't someone's garden and is therefore less of a problem? Coz if they can, that's what I'll do.
The extra-fluffy caterpillar's "furr" is an irritant, but with thick gloves and a little care that shouldn't be too much of a problem.
According to the family member, some of the caterpillars are already moths and whilst they fly at night, they return to that nest every time - part of the reason people want it moved.
Soooooo can I move them? And if so, where can I release them?
