Malacosoma sp.
Awesome little caterpillars. I nearly stuck my hand right in the "tent" on accident and thought it was some kind of huge spider web. I have no idea what species this is though.
Found these tent caterpillars living in the upper branches of an antelope bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata) shrub. Wyoming big sagebrush, rabbitbrush and various grasses and herbs surrounded it.
