Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Found a number of these at the base of a flowering crabapple tree. They reming me of the Eastern Tent Caterpillar, but they are larger and of a different coloration. I would like to find out what they are and if they are detrimental to the tree or surrounding plants. Thanks!
