It's thought that the grouping behavior confuses predators. An attacker might think it's one large animal that's too big to eat, or can't figure out where the head is (many predators go for the head of larger animals). Also - these caterpillar have spines which can sting (like Nettles) if touched. Fun eh?
That is interesting how they follow eachother. Is that for safety in nature
