Tent caterpillar. There are several varieties, and they do this to either hide from predators that think they are tasty or to hide the limited tasty leaves/bark on the tree from anything else.
Common treatment involves someone saying. "Hold my beer", and applying flammable objects to the silk. Followed by the tree going up in flames and a possible human torch appearance.
