This video shows the burlap wrap method, which traps spongy moth caterpillars between two layers of burlap. The spongy moth (Lymantria dispar dispar) is an invasive species that decimates tree canopies. 

By wrapping your tree in burlap in the spring (April or May is best), you can capture adult caterpillars as they make their way up the tree to eat the leaves.
