That is wild! Were the "tendrils" moving at all? It reminds me of the Butternut Woolyworm I saw back in July!

  During our observation we didn't really see it move. Interesting observation you're sharing there, not so sure about the lady beetle theory now :) Posted 6 years ago

    I agree that it resembles Eriocampa. Do you have any other shots? Posted 6 years ago

      Knowing the host plant might be helpful too. Posted 6 years ago
