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

Chris,
This is simple
There are no oaks in Estonia and certainly no Thaumetopoea....

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

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...

sorry for being pedantic but it is not
Thaumetopoea ? I also make my typos.

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...
