Any closer shot of one of the caterpillars? Can you extract a close-up?

Thanks Maplemoth662 and Danielle. I have no idea what the tree is. I sometimes know butterflies and moths but trees outside of England I virtually never have a clue.

Do you know what the tree is Les? it may help in identifying the caterpillars.
