[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 51223, member: 1024"] Thanks, but no, it wasn't one of those. It's a gypsy moth caterpillar. They are huge, now. If you go outside in the woods in my backyard, you can hear the droppings hit the undergrowth. You can see all the little pellets everywhere. They are all over the trees. The kids can't play in the sandbox or play back there, right now, not for another week or so, because of all the dropping. I tell ya, I've never seen anything like it in my life. There are a few starting to cocoon. There was one already changing today and then a few hours later, there was a second one starting to change. There was a big article in the paper today about it. It's too late to spray, so we just have to live with it until next week, when they are all cocooned and then deal with all the moths flying around. We also have caterpillars with spikes on them. I've never seen those before. They are black with orange specks on them and have large black spikes, instead of fur. Weird. [/QUOTE]
