These are the webs created by the ermine moth caterpillar. The caterpillars are present in great numbers on the trees and the web is for protection . They will pupate, emerge as moths and be gone within weeks.

Thanx FredPuli43 they are all over the place down there
Any idea of what kind of bush they are on ?
The reason I ask is because some species of moth or butterfly have specific food plants, this may help determine and identify what they are.
