My area seems to have a really bad population outbreak. Most of the caterpillars look like they're attacking trees in the white oak family. My red's seem to be escaping mostly unharmed. I travel about 7 or 8 miles on the backroads and see almost everyone else has been affected too in some way. After doing some research I found that they lay a cluster of fuzzy brown eggs near the trunk of the tree. I'll probably go around in the fall and see if I can burn some of them up. The caterpillars were eating so heavily and crapping so much it sounded like copper bb's hitting the ground after falling out of the sky!
