This little caterpillar, and its three bazillion siblings, have been dropping from every tree & bush in my yard. They drop on a thread, like little paratroopers. I've been dodging them for a week and they're still not letting up.Once they fall, they make it to the nearest plant & happily attach themselves. My weeping cherry has one abt every three inches. They are abt an inch long. I live in suburban Cincinnati if that's any help.
Thanks for any help,
Pat
