That’s horrifying

LizDandy :

I used to play with those when I was a kid. They were everywhere.

Diane Lieser Jones :

Nightmare!!! 😳

Autumn Sunshine :

Please leave them alone. This is a nest of forest tent caterpillars. They will turn into forest tent moths...while despite most people think they're a pest, they pollinate at night. More efficiently than bees. These guys are gonna be the thing that saves the world if the bees die......let them be. Please. I hope you let them be. They'll eat the foliage but it's rare they'll kill your trees. Your tree will be fine and the world will be better for it. I hate seeing people torch these. A mild nuisance to benefit the entire world is worth the nuisance, no?

Sherriek :

Why doesn’t birds eat them?

I used to collect the hundreds off their nests in a basket and just play with them. I love tent caterpillars so much to this day and still go picking them up to admire 🥰 Lil soft cuties.

Goldfish :
