Burn these with a torch so they won’t hatch and next year spread Tree Tanglefoot around each trunk. It’s sticky stuff that stops them climbing the trunk to get to the branches where they make their “webs”

Not Gypsy moths. They are web worm moths , while unsightly and a mess they are far less destructive and don’t harm healthy trees.Gypsy moths defoliate huge areas of hardwood forest and kill many trees in the process.
