Our fir has started to die in the front garden. Looked closer and its covered in loads of caterpillars.

Not sure if to just leave them be.

Is it some sort of conifer sawfly infestation ?

No idea. I initially thought a squirt of round up might have done it an a weed nearby, but there are many hungry caterpillars munching away.
