On our recent visit to Kings Canyon National Park, we saw lots of these...
Fuzzy, wuzzy, little caterpillars. Wow!...They sure have long hair!
There were so many on some of the trails that we had to be careful not to step on them.

How about a mustache? Hee hee
We also saw a lot of these webby things. The first few days that we were there, they all seemed to be thick spider webs with dead bugs trapped in them. But, as the week progressed, we started seeing more and more caterpillars on them. Hmmmm? What could they be? Who made them? We've never seen anything like it. We assumed they were spider webs but, with so many caterpillars on them, it makes more sense that they were created by the caterpillars. We kept meaning to ask a ranger. But, they seem to be quite scarce in this park. And, whenever we went to a visitor center, we forgot to ask. Has anyone seen these before? Do you know anything about them? I'd love to get the scoop, if you wouldn't mind sharing. Thanks!
