Lymantria dispar
There was another case below this one with only one larva hatched. This one looked like all or most of the larvae had already hatched. Watch a video I took of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T66tqkC1... See the case before the hatch: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/196...
Tree stump ( I think it was cedar) in a suburban yard next to forested swamp.

Great shots, and I love that you added video!
Thanks ForestDragon!
You are correct. These are Gypsy Moth caterpillars. http://bugguide.net/node/view/8780
