Скачать или смотреть Ermine Moth Caterpillars Create Creepy Corridor in Church Graveyard

A historic market town in Cheshire became the site of an infestation of the Ermine Moth Caterpillars which turned a Church graveyard into a horror film!

Shrouded in creepy cobweb nests, the trees that lined the pathway up to the graveyard looked like something out of a Tim Burton movie rather than an idyllic Church garden.

The “Avenue of Ghosts” as one resident on Facebook named them, was created by Ermine Moth Caterpillars also known in the moth family as ‘Yponomeutidae’ which make large communal webs to protect themselves while they can munch on the leaves, often making them bare.

The damage to plants and trees can be tough as can be seen here, with eight different types of Ermine Moth Caterpillars known to be in the Uk. They usually fly off in July or August and the tree eventually recovers - but as you can see they leave their creepy webs behind!

This footage was shot in Knutsford, Cheshire in 2025.
