Creepy Caterpillars

In tonight's "Orcas Issues",  an online local newspaper, there was an article on the tent caterpillars that are invading Orcas. They are doing harm to trees, roses, raspberry bushes...just about anything their little tiny teeth can bite into! So far, here on our property on West Sound Bay, we have seen very few. However, according to Lin McNulty, the writer of this story, there are places on Orcas were they are like a plague.

I love McNulty's last lines, "There is a soft sound that accompanies this blot on the landscape. It sounds like rain. It’s not. It is the caterpillar waste dumping on the ground."

Creepy.
