Most likely tent caterpillars.
Jusr reminded me- as small children in the 50's we collected these caterpillars and actually sold them door to door! And amazingly some folks actually bought them. I think we asked maybe two cents apiece- just enough for ice cream money. I can't imagine that many children would be met with such willing door answerers nowadays!
When I was a kid we tried to sell Buckeyes. Once they started falling it was a race to see who could gather the most. I only remember one person buying them though. And I never could make holes in them to thread them. Bet I was the only girl on our street without a necklace.
