Eastern Tent Caterpillar eggs (Malacosoma americanum)

Larose Forest. Prunus trees are one of the favoured hosts for tent caterpillars, and lately I've been finding fairly fresh egg masses on those trees as well as on some other tree species.

Found a lot of these on my peach trees in northern Merrimack County (Sutton), NH. We are trying to pick them off.

How strange! Would never have guessed what they are.

Like a dried up olive, now crinkly. V

Again, new to me Christine. Nice sharp well explained image.

It looks like it's part of the branch. Excellent detail and light on its body. V.
