The Art Installation that I thought was a deterrent for tent caterpillars

Red Hula Skirts started appearing on the trees at MSH in Medfield where we walk our dogs a couple of weeks ago. They are whimsical and make you smile. I assumed it was the latest in tent caterpillar infestation prevention. I went home and searched the Internet to see what the science was behind the zip ties tied to mesh and circling the circumference of trees to no avail. So I continued to wonder what it could be until today when there was a sign on the fence announcing that they were an art installation called Thistle!
