Malacosoma disstria (Hübner, 1822) - (forest tent caterpillar)
attacks aspen and other trees in North America. Eggs are laid on the branches as egg bands in autumn. The larvae inside the eggs overwinter and emerge in spring around the time of budbreak. The gregarious larvae can cause extensive damage in outbreak years which may result in tree mortality. The larvae don't produce a tent (but cover the tree trunk with silk webbing) and are characterized by the dorsal "keyhole" or "footprint" pattern.
