Bugman better bring help on this one!!

The picture of the bicycle was interesting.

Any idea where the pictures were taken? Looks like a university campus. Somewhere in the South?

The tent caterpillars become very active around here in the late Fall.

Wow…that’s kinda disgusting…

that is

…AWESOME

We had some silkworms(?) in a tree by our house. I’m not sure if they were silworms though, because I was pretty sure that they preferred mulberry trees. Either way, the ‘web’ that they made was very fine - silky in both texture and appearance.

(I saw this posted on digg.com about a week ago)

Fire

The pics come froma small town here in Sweden. I saw these pics on a swedish site before, I’ll try to find the link…

A really big pair of clown shoes should do the trick. :smiley:

Hers’s the link to the original site which the pics came from http://user.it.uu.se/~svens/larverna/normal.html

It says “The day when the caterpillars cam to Flogsta”

If it gets real bad, everyone is invited to my backyard. AKA “Silent Spring”:wink:

fexnix Your link didn’t work for me. I would love to download the original photos w/o the ebaumsworld logo.

Bugman, the link worked for me and my dial-up connection. Try again.

I was looking at the tree and thought it was a tree with white bark. I guess what I thought was white bark is all caterpillar silk.

So, which side of the Atlantic are these critters native to? Is this an example of an introduced species that has gone crazy? We have them (at least something like them) here but I have never seen them that bad.

Can they get you in your sleep?

I’ll give it another try…

They don’t get that bad here because we can spray the crap out of them. In Europe, they can’t even pee on them. :wink:

those kind of caterpillars turn into butterflys right?
thats alot of flippin butterflys

Bugman’s the one!
