dogs and bothersome to Oak trees.The alarm was sounded by the Forestry Commission who have warned that the caterpillars "shouldn't be touched in any circumstances".The suspected culprit, the Brown Tail moth, isn't uncommon in the UK and can usually be found near vegetation in the springtime.But when the creature is in its caterpillar stage, it can release irritant hairs into the hair, which can cause skin irritation.As well as affecting some individuals quite severely, these hairs can prove fatal for dogs.According to Bulldogology, there are insects, like the Brown Tail Moth caterpillar, that have toxins or poison that act on contact or ingestion.These can cause some serious discomfort to your puppy through tummy aches, diarrhoea or even lesions - making the caterpillars potentially toxic to man's best friend.Dog owners have also been warned that dogs may inadvertently fall victim to the toxic effects of the chemicals in insecticides too if owners choose to spray them to remove the insects.Insecticide is such a popular way to get rid of such pests but could also prove to be toxic to your four-legged friend.However, if your dog picks up one of the creatures on its body, non-haired areas of the body can be affected by rashes or dermatitis, in areas such as the abdomen, muzzle or shaved udders.Brown Tail Moths are brown, has a dotted white line down each side and two very distinctive red dots on the back of their tail.The caterpillars live in groups and you may also see the communal "tents" which they use mainly for shelter from bad weather but also for hibernation in the winter.These clumps of cobweb-like material will release irritant hairs when disturbed, it is important, therefore to take protective measures when

Max Verstappen has expressed his concern about the reliability of his Red Bull this season, dubbing the campaign so far 'hit and miss'.The Dutch driver has a remarkable record of winning every race he has completed this season, taking victory on three occasions and suffering two DNF's, which occurred in the opening three rounds of the season and saw Ferrari's Charles Leclerc open up an early 40-point advantage.That deficit is now significantly less following back-to-back wins for Verstappen, who now sits just 19 points behind his rival, but he has admitted he still isn't entirely convinced about the car he has been given by Red Bull.Verstappen's involvement in Friday's practice sessions were limited due to a hydraulic leak, while teammate Sergio Perez had an issue in Sunday's race that resulted in a loss of 30 horsepower and left him unable to secure a podium finish. That all leaves Verstappen in an uncomfortable position as he's made it clear there's work still to do, stating: "We're still having a few issues we have to solve.

Formula One chiefs regarding the strict rules regarding wearing jewellery in the cockpit risks getting 'nasty' and may see the Mercedes driver miss the Monaco Grand Prix, Sky Sports' Ted Kravitz has said.New race director Niels Wittich is applying regulations around jewellery extremely strictly and issued a note to teams about the rules on the Thursday ahead of the Miami Grand Prix - something that Hamilton criticised in his pre-race comments.In a clear message to the governing body, Hamilton attended the pre-race press conference covered in bling, including three watches, and hinted that he'd be prepared to miss the race - though he did adhere to regulations and remove his earrings. Removal of two more piercings, however, were more complicated and Hamilton was granted a two-race exemption period preventing him from receiving punishment but the British driver has made it clear he wants exemptions for the entirety of the season.That puts Hamilton and the FIA on a collision course for the Monaco Grand Prix at the end of the month, where the driver's current exemption period expires, and could even put his participation in Monte Carlo in doubt.“He’s taken his earrings out but he can’t take out his nose [stud] and we thought he was going to have minor surgery to take out the nose [stud]," Kravitz said on his Ted's Notebook programme on Sky Sports.
