Pales pavida vs. processionae always confuses me because I have never actually seen a specimen of processionae  Is this just P.pavida? Estonia - 19.8.2005

Yes, also by the shape of the head, it is very tricky, though As promised, I will send you some processioneae. Theo |

Yes, there are oaks in Estonia, but very few and hardly if any natural. I saw then only in villages. Anyway, you did not complain on Thaumetepoea, so... Theo |

We have naturally occurring oak forests even in the South-Western Finland, so surely there must be some in Estonia as well. Theo is right, there is no T. processionea, however it is one of those species expected to establish itself here in the future due to climate change... |
