Well, the itty bitty skinny caterpillars are having their way with the rest of us this year, it's a proper infestation.
First, the skinny caterpillars proceeded to devour the foliage on the trees, and the caterpillars got big and really ugly looking.
Now they are moths, BANG just like that,
it has been barely two weeks.

Little moths with dirty dishwater-brown-looking wings.
A lot smaller, if you ask me,
than the big ugly caterpillars were.
The darned moths came out all at once
and they are all but swarming, they are everywhere,
and they are in your face and hair and the back of your neck and UUUGH.

Before they are done,
they will make a disgusting spectacle of the trees
by covering them in this webby looking thing that kills off the tree itself.

This is a periodic thing.
It did not take place in the past two summers that I was here.
