Eastern Tent Caterpillars
May 9th, 2012
The silken/webbed nests spun by Eastern Tent Caterpillars are starting to be seen in trees now (early May). These caterpillars feed on apple, peach, plum, crabapple and cherry trees and build distinctive nests in the forks of the branches. Feel free to review our fact sheet on these caterpillars for more information, including some things you can do to combat them (and how they differ from Forest Tent Caterpillars).
