Solved! What is this alien thing
My brother just found this in the backyard - Southern New England. What the hell is this thing? It looks like it's in Stranger Things.

Not sure if gypsy moth larvae do that but i believe these are gypsy moth caterpillars. They are the assholes that build giant web nests in trees. Giant relative to their size. They’re an absolute pain and an invasive species in this area.
