Default [IBC] Pine Pests on tips of new growth

Help! Today I discovered a cluster of ants on an Eastern White Pine,
and looking closer, noticed several green caterpillars with brown heads
covering the tip of branches nestled among the new growth. They were
about one-half inch in length. I pulled off all that I saw. Should I
be spraying or has the damage been done? The tree appears healthy
otherwise.

Any suggestions appreciated.

With thanks,
