winter moth

These caterpillars were pretty small, about 1.5 cm. They had subtle white stripes running up and down their bodies.

The trees around the neighborhood have leaves that look like Swiss cheese, so I wondered what was eating them. I found these caterpillars. I wonder if they are winter moth caterpillars because they seem to be taking over the area, and I have seen them do that before. I went out to look for them a week later and could find no sign of them except for the holy leaves.
