 Okay, the next insect on the list is the Eastern Tent Caterpillar and it has this name because it builds these tents in the crotches of trees and it's one thing you need to remember. It's always in the crotch of branches that you will find these tents never out on the end of the limbs, but in the branch crotches is where the tents are and they live inside these tents. They come out in the nighttime and they feed when they're safe from predators and then they return to the tent. The larvae is a rather large caterpillar and it has a white stripe down the middle that's very characteristic of this caterpillar. The adults are a tan colored moth and they have buff colored lines, so it's very easy to identify that you can see the tan color and has just these little buff lines, two buff lines down the wings and it really has a very hairy body. This is the only tan colored moth with these buff lines in it, so it's very easy to distinguish. You may also see egg masses which just looks like black encrusting around a twig. So the egg mass is a black encrusting around the twig, so you could be given the adult caterpillar that has the white line down the back, the egg mass that's the black encrusting around the twig, or the adult insect which is the tan colored moth with buff stripes, or again the damage, the tent that they build in the crotches of the tree. This is the Eastern Tent Caterpillar.
