caterpillars - bulgaria

[dj]

Hi Guys
walking the dog through the fields at the back of the house and came across loads of clusters of these caterpillars.
Can anyone tell me what they will be?
thanks

They look to me like larvae of one of the 'Lackey Moths', genus Malacosoma. I do not know which ones live in Bulgaria though, sorry.

Try Malacasoma castrensis, they do look like the larvae we get here in England.
