   the apple tree in the corner of the yard looked strange; it was fuzzy on one   
   side but had full leaves on the other. When I got closer, I saw that on the   
   "fuzzy" side, the leaves    
   had been eaten away except for the main vein that runs up from the branch   
   through the center of the leave. It hadn't been like that the morning before   
   so either a flock of locusts came through during the day or night and ate the   
   leaves. No sight of any    
   bugs around or on the tree.

   There's no web, otherwise I would have suspected tent caterpillars. I keep   
   checking the tree to see if anything unusual is hanging around out there.
