Nick Williams Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 No idea what kind of caterpillars they are, but there was a ton of them out there. - Nick
Justin Spencer Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 The bottom one is an eastern tent caterpillar, which turns into kind of a boring moth, not sure what the top is but it is neat.

Chief Grey Bear Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Don't know of anyone that called those "bagworms". Those are "webworms".

Nick Williams Posted April 24, 2012 Author Posted April 24, 2012 I've never heard of bag worms either, but web worms I have, and it may lack of the certain tree in the area I live in now, but I have only seen a couple of them. They decimate trees though. - Nick
Chief Grey Bear Posted April 24, 2012 Posted April 24, 2012 I've never heard of bag worms either, but web worms I have, and it may lack of the certain tree in the area I live in now, but I have only seen a couple of them. They decimate trees though. Bagworms are found mostly on evergreens. Mainly juniper bushes found in front yards. But occasionally you will see them in other areas.

Al Agnew Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 In this part of the state, they are called webworms and bagworms interchangeably. They love wild cherry trees! We have a weed burner that you use with propane cannisters. Spent a couple of hours with Mary driving the tractor, me in the big bucket in front, she'd lift me up so I could burn the webworm "bags" in the row of cherry trees we have along the lane leading to the house. I left a couple of trees, and as of a couple weeks ago the webworms had pretty much eaten every bit of new foliage on those two trees.
