Yeah, the grasshoppers here look like popcorn popping as one walks across the yard! Gross! Plagues of the Egyptians, anyone?

Ahhhh and yuck, I remember these. In NY we called them tent caterpillers because they build white webby nests in the trees that look like little tents. Then eat their way to the ground and become like a swarm of caterpillers on the ground. For some reason, probably because of a good food source, they seem to swarm more some years then others.
