Caterpillars in March

Caterpillar Mar 20

We have just gone through one of the mildest winters I have ever experienced. During the season, we experienced ice on the water bowls and butts on only an handful of days, even then it was only a thin layer. We had snow only once. It fell during the night and by midday it was washed away by rain. I noticed trees starting to come into leaf in February, 2 months early. Last month I found this caterpillar. While I expect to see lots of them from May onwards, I've never seen them in the winter! Climate change is happening! The issue we have to address is how to slow it.
