Are those Gypsy Moths? Freaking piranha on the land when it comes to trees.

They aren't gypsy moth caterpillars: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsy_moth

But I've seen similar infestations from gypsy moths - although not the bit with them cocooning up the bicycle and stuff. Gypsy moth used to be some bad stuff - I remember whole forests in eastern and central PA stripped completely bare of leaves. They would even hit the pines. From talking to my dad, they don't seem to be as bad the past 10 to 15 years - wonder what happened?

how is this possible? I was expecting to see a carcass of a dead animal or something but.. wow.... where do they get their food?

They probably ate themselves out of house and home.

Who cares! As long as all these people haven't seen it. . .

73 posts in 1 1/2 years... I wonder how many of his other posts have contributed more than just one letter of the alphabet.

Hey icy - the search function is fubared. Until it's fixed, the majority no longer care about reposts, except in excessive cases (like EndofWorld.swf)

Notice there aren't any leaves on those trees?

Looks like a bad case of Tent caterpillars. Never seen them take over a whole tree like that though.
