Oh my gosh, is any other state having an infestation of spongy moths /caterpillars? I have never seen them so bad. You stand outside you can hear the crunch of them eating leaves, literally. It won’t take long to get big swaths of defoliation. I hate them so much and they are everywhere.

ETA - to change to the correct caterpillars. 🤦‍♀️

Ha - I am totally wrong they are not the tent caterpillars they are the spongy moths (used to be called gypsy moths). When you said that I thought to myself I haven’t seen any nests. That is why. 😄

ETA - My grandfather use to go up and down our road burning the nest. 😳 I hate those things too! 😄
