We were infested with caterpillars this year. Big time. Way worse than the tent caterpillars last year. Even the kids thought it was gross at times this year. We had the tent worms plus some other kind of moth larva that eats the tops of the trees in the evening/night and then sits in these huge clumps on the tree trunks, your house, etc during the day. I had to stop using my clothes line because it was pretty much raining caterpillar poo all the time. They seemed to peak the weekend before Memorial Day (of course that was the weekend of our rummage sale) and now today I see a lot less of them on the trees.
Despite all the chewing my rose bush that was planted new last year bloomed this year! We also have some irises in the front yard that have never bloomed before.
