Re: ID help

YEP...we get those nasty little caterpillars all over our river birch, every year.  They eat the leaves down to a nub!  Hate 'em.

  Re Theresa, Donna, and Cathy's comments....none of it sounds good. And yes 
they are near a birch tree which in the past has had "black rain" though I 
didn't notice that this year.
I've looked at lots of photos and have found lots similar but none just like 
it.
I think I should collect them and get rifd of them.
Any reason anyone thinks I shouldn't?
Thanks
