They turn into moths. It takes about eight weeks for the caterpillars to start their cocoons and two for them to turn into moths.
when the tent caterpillars turn into moths the eastern have a white stripe and the western have a yellow stripe
They are usually referred to as Forest Tent Caterpillar Moths (Malacosoma disstria).
They originate from Eurasia. (eastern europe/ western asia)

Forest tent caterpillars turn into brown moths and green when night falls.Mostly moths are brown,white and tan but they always turn out to be green just like glow in the dark stuff you find on the fourth of July.Which was 3 days back....................................................................................................................thats all:)
Eastern tent caterpillars are NOT poisonous, they are only dangerous to the mare reproductive system of horses but they do cause heavy damage to trees---so watch out for these hungry pests!
yes
Tent caterpillars make a tent out of silk on branches of trees. The larvae can only eat small, young leaves, which kills the tree faster than eating the larger, older leaves.
