These are the little worms that chewed up all your leaves in the spring. They bury themselves in the ground for the summer and then the males emerge in the late fall as moths. The females do not have wings but crawl up your trees to lay their eggs. When the eggs hatch in the spring the larvae decimate the foliage. They have really become a major PIA over the past few years.

You don't need to worry about the moths themselves and they'll usually be seen flying around as long as the weather isn't too bad. If there is an abundance of the moths this fall it could mean there will be a bunch of worms in the spring.
