Oh the worms!! "Mom, they're not worms..."

So I was outside the other day putting one of my dogs on his chain and I looked down and saw a caterpillar.  No biggie, right?  No, not when  it's just one.  But then I looked 2 inches over and saw another one, then another, then another...I was like, What in the world is going on???  I still don't know why there are so many worms in my yard.  And not only my yard, but many other people's yards.  Is there some caterpillar invasion that we haven't been let in on?  Well, I don't know.  But I do know my boys wanted to collect a few.  So that we did. 

We collected 101 to be exact.  I counted as they were dropped in the bucket.  I think Tyler got tired of the counting.  After we collected them, we poured them out into a pile and the picture snapping commenced.
