The oak processionary is a moth whose caterpillars can be found in oak forests, where they feed on oak leaves, causing significant damage. They travel in nose-to-tail processions , often arrow-headed, with a leader followed by rows of several caterpillars abreast. They are a human irritant because of their venomous setae , which can cause skin irritation and asthma. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
