Welcome to “This or That” video series. Produced by UF/IFAS Extension Pinellas County. This series helps citizens and visitors correctly identify commonly mistaken species of plants and animals. Today we will look at two native invertebrates often confused with one another, the Eastern tent caterpillar and the Fall webworm. These two invertebrates are very similar in appearance, but have some differences in their feeding habitats and "tent" locations. Here are some tips to help you tell them apart. #thisorthat #caterpillar #invertebrate #bugs
