The world's longest conga line of caterpillars was kept together by a silk thread as the 136 spiny pillars made their way across the road.
Luckily the van full of tourists put on his breaks just in time, which stopped them from squishing the trial of caterpillars
"'They were following a very, very thin silk thread on the ground and it took them about 20 minutes to get across the road safely.'
'Our guide had never seen it before, but he'd heard about it and explained they were migrating into the bush where they would disperse.'-Daily Mail
The tourists in the van were lucky since spotting the troop of migrating caterpillars is a rare sight, which took them about 20minutes before it was safe to drive on.
