Don't know if it's the mild winter we had but this year has been crazy, every single fruit tree was loaded with them. RIP crispy little caterpillars.

The previous owners lined one side of our property with crab apples; gave the blowtorch a workout the other night. 

Had about 10-11 nests like this one...
