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.

They are usually referred to as Forest Tent Caterpillar Moths (Malacosoma disstria).
Caterpillars eat vegetation. If they are numerous, they can kill plants over wide areas.You're probably not old enough to remember the 'tent caterpillar' problem we had in the northeastern US.
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
Fall webworms and tent caterpillars are both types of caterpillars that build webs, but there are some key differences between them. Fall webworms create large, messy webs on the ends of tree branches, while tent caterpillars build smaller, more organized tents in the crotches of trees. Additionally, fall webworms are active in the late summer and fall, while tent caterpillars are active in the spring.
No, they don't bite
