These creators are eating everything in their path, stripping Roses and are working on apple trees. Don't know if I should poison them or let them eat away.
Edited to add that I found it.

Ruth...
If you let them get big and fat they are great in a stir-fry. (I like olive oil and garlic but I believe Lamarr might prefer deep-fried in Wesson oil, highly seasoned with a nice shrimp batter! It'll make your lips slink back and make your teeth smile!)
(Glad you figgered out your problem. Now...let's eat!)
Do you want me to send you a large box of them? They should be just right for you as they have eaten everything in their path. LOL
Yummy! But no thanks...I prefer to share them so ya'll enjoy!
:>)
Horseshoe - Are you serious ?
Shoe you are so nice. LOL
Honeygirl. Who? Me? Serious!? (Nope, I'm Aquarius!)
However, should ever like to delve into the wonderful world of worms I'd suggest you start w/the Fried Green Tomato Hornworm! (Lots more body to those worms than the onces Ruth has!)
Recipe is here:

Bon appitete~ τΏτ
Oh my gosh! I have to show that to DD. She will wear earthworms for jewery but hornworms give her the heebie jeebies. Lol! I will serve them with a side of leaf-hoppers and toasted aphids.
Did you ever get to the answer, you joksters? I would say they are tentworms. You know the kind that are particularly in wild cherry tries and make those triagular tents. They eat your trees bare, then go on to, in your case, roses. Mine did the pyracanthia on their way to the roses. I picked them by the gallon jars, year after year. You can buy sticky tape for the trees; but that doesn't work. They are very hard to poison. My husband does waterpressured poison, but it is hard because the tents are so very strong and they are way up in the trees. Arborists say let them just be; they just trim the tip of your trees. This year, knock on wood, I haven't seen many. Anyway, they eat and crawl into their nests at night. When they are fat, the fall off and walk to some dark corner: under shingles, on the rim of your trashcan, etc. and make a little fuzzy oval. I suppose they turn into something flying, which flies up to lay its eggs in the upper branches and that's how it starts all over again. Feel free to kill them, if you can.
knees, yes I found out that they were the tentworms. Welcome to the home of lots of jokesters. LOL
