[QUOTE="KDM, post: 222653, member: 314"] Those big webs on the tree tops were probably tent caterpillars (Lasiocampaidae). I HATE them things. Most spiders don't put webs in trees. To windy. The trees/leaves/branches move to much and the webs get busted up. Tent caterpillars will strip mine a whole tree of just about all it's new growth. ROUGH on growing trees. The wife and I make regular trips through the orchards in the spring on seek and DESTROY missions. We look for the small webbed areas on the branch tips and crush'em up with our fingers. The larvae are usually the size of two rice grains put end to end or smaller. It really makes a difference on tree growth from year to year if you can keep them things off'em.
