Stuff some nightmares are made of! I have never seen anything like it. I saw these creepy crawly caterpillars on my hike around Causey Reservoir, Utah, this past Memorial weekend, 2016. Several tent caterpillars were making a nest. They were fascinating to me. Of course, I had to film them! This would be a cool video for kids. When I got home I googled what kind of caterpillars they are. Weird, wild stuff! LOL! I meant to say #wtf at the end. Dang dyslexia strikes again!

From Wikipedia. Tent caterpillars are moderately sized caterpillars, or moth larvae, belonging to the genus Malacosoma in the family Lasiocampidae. Twenty-six species have been described, six of which occur in North America and the rest in Eurasia.
