I went outside this morning and the grass looked like it was alive. So I took a closer look and there are little catapillars everywhere, 1000's and 1000's of them. It is kind of freaky. I have seen lots of them before but never on this scale.
I hope you can see them in the pic's, my camera doesnt like to take close ups. |
Recently I saw a big web nest in a tree with a ton of caterpillars in it. I wondered what they were also.
|
What can you do about them??? and will they eat your plants or do they turn into moths?

Mine are not that big up here in southeastern PA, but I have had a terrible time with little green caterpiller looking bug eating my flowers. They seem immune to any insecticide I spray on the flowers. The really love petunia flowwers. I even woke up with one of the critters on my shirt last week. I guess he fell in my hair or was on clothing when I came in.

I wonder if it has to do with the heat wave we had?
|
Ewwww creepy!! Would hate to step on one.
Our backyard has been invaded by grasshoppers, but at least they jump away when I get near. |
We have been extremely dry & I am one of the very few on my street that is watering so I think every rabbit, squirrel, deer & bug comes to my property for moisture.

I don't know. I have been wondering why the crickets are so much louder than usual. I was talking to someone on the phone and they wanted to know what the noise was. It was just the crickets. You can hear them in the house at night.
