Jason asked if the tent catepillars were sprayed with a high bacterial brew.
Bacteria do not attack and consume the cuticles of most insects. You need
Beauveria, or Entomophagus, another genus of insect-attacking fungi. If you
have put paper or cardboard into your compost, and have any natural source of
these fungi in the organic matter you add to your compost, these fungi will
typically be present.

I want to point out that Monrovia is now selling a really great little 5 gal
tea brewer! It gets great fungal AND bacterial numbers, is just about
impossible to drive anaerobic (you have to do something stupid like use 1% sugar or
higher to see a problem). I recommend this small brewer for anyone who wants a
little, home-owner size machine!!!!
