These caterpillars are most often found in pecan, sweetgum, mulberry willow, hickory oak and many other tree species. Inside these webs you’ll find masses of hairy caterpillars of Hyphantria cunea. They grow to about 1-inch long with pale yellow or green bodies, a mottled stripe and black bumps that run down the body and reddish colored heads. They are covered with tufts of long white hairs. These are the caterpillars of a lovely white moth.
