Cripes!!
We've got some webworms, and they are nasty, but that's incredible! I'd really like to know the time frame those photos were taken in. I'm betting just a day or two. Phenominal!
They need a sudden arrival of copious numbers of Orioles!

Easy enough to control, just grab them by the handful and squeeze. Although a good stick with couple of nails protruding from the end works well to destroy the webs. We hiked through PA and NY when the frass from the Gypsy Moth catipillars sounded like heavy rain on the leaves, nonstop, 24/7.

Eww! I didn't have too much difficulty with the webs on the bike until the close-up under the seat. Gack.

Beth, during Gypsy Moth outbreaks you could go outside and hear two distinct sounds. One was millions and millions of jaws crunching through leaves, and the other was a steady hiss of millions and millions of pellets of caterpillar dung raining down from the trees. It was truly awful.
Saw a longhorn beetle in Maine recently...should I have whacked it, or are there longhorns that are native?

Re: I remember the gypsy moth outbreaks in the 70's
Yeah, the gypsy moths were horrible. I haven't heard of anything happening as it did in the 70's, but I don't live up there any more, so might not hear about it. I remember hearing about a freight train that got stuck because of so many caterpillars and carcasses on the tracks. I didn't believe it. Until my aunt couldn't get up her driveway for the same reason.
