I have some big, green caterpillars that have taken probably 20% of the leaves off of one of the ?pin? oaks in my backyard. They are also on the other oak trees, though not as many. They are about an inch and a half long, two black ?antenna? towards the front, little black spikes all over. There is some webbing in the trees. I want to kill these suckers, home depot sold me malathion.....would prefer something less toxic. Anyone tell me what these hungry little buggers are and how to get rid of them before they kill my tree???? They are stripping the leaves off the tree and working their way up to the top...
