This past weekend we went to the city (Prince George) to do some errands. As we were driving into PG, we noticed that the trees didn't have leaves - and they should on the last day of June. We started looking for tent caterpillar tents as we'd
heard on CBC Daybreak it was a bad year for them. Later on in the day, we took a walk down a trail (geocaching of course).
Walking down Route 66 looking for some caches in the rain.
Note the lack of leaves.
Due to these guys.
Lots of caterpillars everywhere.
What a random thing to find in the middle of the woods. Even the caches had caterpillars all over them.
Starting to build a tent.
All sizes hanging out together.
They ate all the leaves and there are so many that they are even building tents in the coniferous trees.
Building a cocoon.
They are even on the flowers.
So many caterpillars. We had to decontaminate a couple of times on our walk. We had caterpillars on our pants and jackets after looking for caches. And we definetly didn't want to bring them back to the Fort.
