Malacosoma americana
The caterpillars leave their tent during the day to forage, and return at night. At 3 PM, the tent was busy, with different sized caterpillars coming and going quite quickly, both around the tent, and into and out of the tent.
Several tents were in this patch of fragmented mixed oak-hickory forest.
