Have you seen these all over the roadside? šøļø
Saw this on a property in Hendersonville, NC. These are fall webworms. They create an ever-expanding web on the branch ends and consume the leaves inside it. The web is typically so dense that the best ātreatmentā is usually just to clip them out.
They build those white tents out on the tips, not down the trunk. The caterpillars feed inside the webbing, and as more of them hatch the nest keeps spreading along the branch. By the time the tent looks this full, a lot of the leaves inside are already gone.
Clipping the nest out is usually the cleanest fix when you can reach it. A thick web blocks a lot of spray, so cutting the whole tent off gets the insects and the mess in one move.
