I was mesmerized by this tent of caterpillars. Have never really bothered checking to see what the tent was about-but seeing them around. The tree is maybe 3-4 years old and low to the ground. In my search for something to photograph, I stepped up to investigate. It seemed that the tent had grown quickly from the first time I noticed a day or two before. The morning light was shining on the strands, highlighting them and as I noticed the caterpillars moving around in a different area it looked like they  were going through 'outer space' but only on the beautiful strands of sunlit glowy silk. Some appear 'spacey' while others like 'ewwwww', It was super!!!  A time lapse video included below. More photos here!
