Eastern tent caterpillar 

They are everywhere this year! 

But do we have anything to worry about? Not really. 

If you find them in the same tree year after year that tree will be compromised but in general they will not harm your trees. If you have a horse farm you may have something to worry about since they can mess with their reproductive systems - but no one on the road has a farm to worry about (I think...) Anyway as they eat all the leaves off one tree they will keep moving on to the next tree so things can get ugly but not harmful. If you want to read up on them there is plenty of information online. Just search for the Eastern Tent Caterpillar

If you can’t wait for boating season, then spend a bit of time watching one of these great videos done by ecottagefilms and take a virtual ride down the Burnt!

And if you are interested in checking out any other local lakes or rivers they have plenty of other videos accessible from their home page here http://ecottagefilms.com.

I’d recommend watching the Spectacular Cottages one (although, if you’re like me, it might just make you envious...)
