You have spent a lot of time trying to put this post together. And it's great that you did! It must be amazing to follow their life cycle but I'm not sure if I like the damage they do to the tree :)

I had no idea that they grow to such size and that they are so hairy. I would probably flip out if I would see it somewhere as I'm afraid of insects in a way but seeing it on a photo I must say that it is beautiful :)

Thank you for sharing and have a good day!
