It's a tent caterpillar

Thank you! Very helpful, I think you’re right. Seems like they’re western tent caterpillars. Which would make sense since we’re finding them on our apple and cherry trees. A big influx this year! So many caterpillars 😟

@@farmommayeah there’s sometimes seasons for bugs like with moths there is thousands of them then next week none

They look like the bag worms I get in my area. They are invasive here and we had a HUGE outbreak in my city. Tons of trees were covered by them

[@andybaldman]

We don’t know what it is, but here how to fix it.

This seemed like the best approach! Did some research. Talked to others more experienced than us and this was their advice too. Prune & 🔥

We call em web worms.

[@farmomma]

I wonder if it is an east coast west coast thing between web and bag worms

[@eduardochavacano]

[@farmomma]

Just trying to save the ones we can. Seems like it is bad every few years.
