They stripped this tree:


I saw more "clumps" of them further back in the woods as well

Google walnut caterpillars image. Looks suspiciously similar...

Wow... Hungry little buggers!

We get the tent caterpillars similar to that here. I spray their nests with WD-40 and light 'em up!

I have to agree with Thistle. Especially since that looks like a young walnut tree the defoliated.
