A few days ago I witnessed this wonder where #caterpillars encapsulated a #tree in their #ghostly silk. Here is the link to the previous #post:

We returned, and the #infestation has spread!

During my #wandering #today, I encountered a wonder I have never seen before. #Moth #caterpillars covered a whole #tree in #silk! It turns out that they use this #eerie looking web for protection & transport. It truly looks like a ghost tree, countless little crits wriggling about. To me, it was a #magical #moment I'll #NeverForget.
I found the following article that sheds some light on this marvel:
