Here in the northeast tent caterpillars are a spring thing, emerging a week or 2 before petal fall. Fall webworm usually emerges during mid to late summer- I don't think they picked the name. The tents do considerably more damage in unsprayed trees and the choke-cherries on the edge of my property get completely defoliated while the much smaller webworms don't tend to go beyond their starting branch.
