Hackberry defoliator in north Dallas area - Insects in the City

Do you have Hackberry Trees with green caterpillars?

Here’s what we know:
🐛This specific caterpillar, Sciota celtidella, is very host specific. It feeds only on hackberry leaves and does not feed on other types of trees or foliage.
🐛We first noticed the caterpillars in early August and they left; however, the heavy rains several weeks ago enabled hackberry trees to flush new growth leaves, which brought on a second wave of the caterpillars. In a short time, these caterpillars will turn into moths and be gone.
🐛We have been advised by several arborists that the best course of action is to let this run its course and the trees will recover. Rest assured the trees are alive and will sprout fresh green leaves.
🐛Today at Liberty Park, Park Operations staff saw very few live caterpillars, which indicates they should be gone soon. With wind and rain, the silk left behind will dry out or dissipate.
🐛Park Operations staff has been cleaning the parks daily. Sidewalks and playground spaces are clear from any debris from these insects. Staff will continue to clean the areas as needed.
🐛This caterpillar doesn’t have a common name, only its scientific name Sciota celtidella, and when it grows up it will be a small pyralid moth.
🐛We don’t see this caterpillar every summer. The last time was in 2015.
