"This is a story about remarkable creatures, inquisitive people, and fascinating conversations. The creatures? Pine processionary caterpillars with mysterious group habits. The people?

The conversations span lifetimes, as one researcher continues a dialogue started by the other.

Back matter includes more details about the two scientists as well as a glossary, bibliography, source notes, and suggestions for further reading"--
