That is correct Over to you

Got the idea after an issue in the news last week where they told us about this caterpillar and how poison it is(You can die if you come in contact with it). Can be found in Denmark now. Have been in Germany and Poland for decades

Indeed, the oak processionary (Eichenprozessionsspinner in German, a language which allows unlimited connection of nouns ) has been a plague for quite some time over here, and even in my region in the north it is fought with nets over trees and insecticides sprayed from helicopters.

...then again, given his miserable command of Ingrish, Ostibby could "be acourtin' his 'nooner' at the local bordello!?? I should have got this one as I'd seen it when I posted this one some years ago in this thread: congrats to Ostfriese!
