Western tent caterpillar (Malacosoma californicum)

Have you noticed any of these caterpillars and ‘tents’ in alder or cottonwoods? They have been reported in Ketchikan and the Forest Service State & Private Forestry would like your help to determine where they occur. If you notice western tent caterpillars, take a picture and upload it to iNaturalist to help us collect data on these forest pests.
