Oak processionary caterpillars have spread extensively across parts of Berlin, forcing authorities to close sports facilities and green spaces in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district due to health concerns.
Residents living near Jungfernheide, a large park in the west of the German capital, have been particularly affected. According to locals, the caterpillars and their nests can be found on door frames, cars, building façades and even street lighting.
