Tent Caterpillars. Common to see them in trees here in NY in the spring.

If low enough to the ground, I try to burn them out. That might cause another issue for the OP though.

 

[allgm1]

i usually take the branch off the tree and stomp them, that may be a prob for op.

We call them Catawba worms here in the south. Maybe the same thing? They're great for fishing and killing trees.

I've always thought they were gypsy moths in the caterpillar stage. They're all over around here too.

Oh, they are definitely Caterpillars but we don't know any better in Alabama!

Yea, that was the issue I was referring to.

Here in NY, not an issue in the spring.
