Got a bunch of these all over the yard. Easier to see covered in morning dew.

If you see light colored moths flying around you got em, I treated my yard last week, they were everywhere.

It could be spiders. That webbing looks rather thick for webworms. I'd get down on the ground and look for the actual caterpillar. If you do have them Talstar will knock them out.

I bought at Do my own.
Wayyy cheaper than paying quarterly for pest control too.

False alarm. I went and looked at them closer when I got home and there were spiders in them that had made a silky tunnel from that web into a tunnel into the ground. Pretty cool actually.

Looks like a plain old wolf spider to me.
They are all over the place in my yard/shrubs.
I figure they help keep the insects beat back so I leave them alone.

The floods of 2016 brought them in. They have wrecked my yard more than once.

Yes I let every wolf spider live. Saw one the other day on a wood pile that was damn near 4” across. Made my skin crawl a bit but I know he’s keeping things in check.

Saw some last week as I put some granular bio advanced insecticide down as well when i sprayed some left over insecticide I had.
Haven’t really noticed them this week

As others have said the abundance of small white moths flying when you walk through or mow the yard will be the best indicator of sod webworms.
The brown patches won't be far behind. They wrecked most of my backyard in a matter of weeks a few years ago.
I used liquid insecticide I got from Lowe's, Spectracide Triazicide with success.
ETA: I suspect there is some truth to the 2016 flood. We came within a few inches of water in the house and never had trouble with these webworms for the 14 years we lived here previously.
