Anybody see any signs of tent caterpillars or gypsy moth caterpillars or Japanese beetles yet?

Saw increasing activity of tents when I was recently up in NY at our place in the woods.

Yes

Time to spray or is it a bit early yet? According to my last years calendar, I seem to be a bit behind last year in terms of spraying the fruit trees.

I wish I could spray,the fruit flies have already hit the developing friut and the worms are chewing up the leafs. Leaf curl and fire blight are strong this year. I did spray early but rain every single day..raining now after a heavy fog had rolled in for hours earlier. Rain and high winds at the wrong times in spring are a fruit growing PITA.
