Caterpillars' Conga line

Shot recently (unfortunately by a PDA) while walking in a forest (click to embiggen).

Never seen anything like this. Any explanations?

Biggerized, it is genuinely weird. Help! Is there a zoologist in the house?

Nope, no one to ask so far.

I was curious so did a quick google. There are things called processionary caterpillars in several countries, including Portugal and Australia. They're quite dangerous, apparently.

Wow. Nasty critters indeed, thanks Peter.
