They feed on ash, cherry, maple or oak trees, but are not a pest. Please do not kill.
Neat looking caterpillars and moths. Here are images of adults and other caterpillars.

Now I have a name for them, thanks to all, how do I get rid of them? They are all over, falling from Birch trees and seemingly from the sky. And do they get big and turn into....what?

Your caterpillar is the spotted apatelodes. They are sometimes white as well as yellow. They feed on ash, cherry, maple or oak trees, but are not a pest. Most are found near deciduous woodlands or nearby areas.
The adult is a brown moth that folds its wings much like the sphinx moths do. They are found in eastern N America east of the Rockies.
