I never knew that caterpillars made webs... These are in our back yard...

Even though I know its not a spider web, still kinda creeps me out... I Googled it to find out what they were and I beleive there either a EASTERN TENT CATERPILLAR or a FALL WEBWORM both of which are harmless and wont do much damage to the tree.

I remember seeing those tents all over the pine trees by my house when I was a kid. I had forgotten all about them!
I'm impressed!
This is amazing! I would be out there watching and taking a picture everyday. :)
UGH! I think i would be creeped out too. Then what happens when they hatch? They are gonna eat your entire yard
I didn't know they made webs. Kinda creepy looking! Have a great day!
Okay two thoughts.. one how cool is THAT... and two how many are in there!!!!
Sometimes they get really huge, too! We have them in our oak trees around here and they're kind of creepy!
Happy WW!

All I see is mother nature at work. Very pretty.
I find that both cool and creepy. :)
WOW~ That's amazing!
WOW! those ones are so big. We have a couple of of these in our trees but they are nowhere near that big. Oh, I'm a new follower BTW. I like you site!
When I was a kid we called them tent worms. They are pretty gross and can kill your trees so you might want to find out how to get rid of them. Have a wonderful day!
Wow, that is interesting! Would have creeped me out a bit to
Ah yes, we've had those in our yard too. Cool, but kinda creepy. The kids love them though.
Best of luck with your move!
Interesting and amazing pics! happy ww!
Wild! I never knew that either. Great shots!

Wow, those look huge! (and kind of creepy)
That is so cool. I never knew they made webs either!
We've had something similar. The one's we had are gypsy moths. Not sure if that is what you have.
Happy WW!
