Ten tents equals ten catepillars, right? Or are you saying there's more 
than one buggy in each tent? If so, then you're right - it _is_ a major 
infestation - otherwise, it's just 10 catepillars - I don't see any tents 
in the trees nearby.
SP>   right out of the tree with a lit torch, foget about handling them. If
SP>   you get the nests at night, when the caterpillars return, while the
SP>   nests are small, damage to the tree is insignificant. But you may have
SP>   squashing duty for a few who escape; so wear your stompin' boots.
If each tent hold more than one, then we'll fry 'em!  Let me know!
Thanks, Michele
