Caterpillar Stampede!

Yesterday afternoon I was almost trampled in a caterpillar stampede. Yes, they're small, and they move slowly, but they have lots and lots of legs. And there were lots and lots of caterpillars -- dozens of them, migrating across our yard and front walk, all heading east. I'm lucky to be alive.

They were black, with spikes, and red feet/legs. Not sure what kind of butterfly or moth they'll turn into Nor do I know why they were all on the lawn, or why they were all going the same direction. There was something vaguely Hitchcockian about it all.
