Thanks! I thought they were big cocoons or something because I could have sworn caterpillars did that to trees. I wasn't sure, that's why I didn't write what they were haha I just googled it to find out and it says:
Why does my tree have huge, giant “spider webs” on tree branches? Spiders actually don't make those webs in trees. Instead, you can thank fall webworms or Eastern tent caterpillars, depending on the time of year. Fall webworms are caterpillars that weave a thick web as they feed on trees
They totally look like spider webs and I would have believed you. We have a crazy amount of spiders all along the river here. My house is always invaded by them around this time. I had to buy these bug repellent things you plug into the wall that let off a frequency bugs and mice hate.
Shit that's nuts! I've seen them myself but wasn't sure what made them. The caterpillars and webworms make sense, not as terrifying as massive spider webs but I definitely don't want to run into that lol
