    hi people,

    I found some of these strange furry crawling things on an apricot tree, and
    I suspect they're responsible for leaves holes, as these bugs seems to
    be at a larvae stage.

    Thank you all in advance

    Hi Fungi99

    That has to be the strangest looking crawlie I've ever seen. Here is a web address that seems to do a lot of caterpillar and other bug identification for people. Maybe they can help out.

    Sure would like to hear the result if someone identifies it.

    Very strange indeed. I'd go with a caterpillar of some sort; just pick 'em off the tree if there aren't very many. What's that bug is an excellent site for ID.

    Or, jar one up and visit your local university's entymology department! They're normally very helpful folks, and if it's a neat critter they get all excited.
