Inch Worm Things

Weatherford, TX(Zone 7b)

Does anyone know what these worms hanging from my elm trees are? They hang on webbs and are about 1 inch long.Do I need to be concerned or let it go?They are a pain when they get in your Hair! Thanks for helping out a dummy about worms!

Newark, OH(Zone 5b)

Not a dumb question, and you're no dummy. :)

What color are the caterpillars/worms? Are they fuzzy or smooth? Are there clusters of them, or do they tend to just be all by their lonesome? Do they have webs in the leaves?

Is it these? http://insects.tamu.edu/images/insects/fieldguide/cimg293.html

...or maybe these? http://www.forestpests.org/southern/Insects/estrntnt.htm
