I went to my folks to check on the veggie garden and I didn't see any of those nasty little buggars. Fingers crossed that they stay away.

Could they be tent catapillars? The evergreen shrubs around here use to have them, they would build cucoon looking things on them that looked to have pieces of needles woven into them by the catapillars. They never turned into anything but, pests.

They look like the ones I call "web worms" because they are in those webs in trees. Nasty little buggers!!! Several years ago I had some escape from a web that was in a flowering crabapple tree. I spent the next half hour sending them to caterpillar heaven (or should I say he**??)!!! :twisted:

I wish I knew. It is freaky watching the grass move because of them.

I was looking at images of caterpillars and the closest I could find were fall army worms. They are worse if the season has been wetter then usual.

Humm!! We have had an extremely dry summer, hot and dry. Do they cause a lot of damage?
