They've been annihilating my fruit trees. I saved the pear trees before they got too many fruits by hitting them with a high pressure wash, but I was a little late with the cherry trees. I didn't even bother with the crabapple and plum. The plum tree is like 80% tented up right now. They're even tenting in the oaks. I have some kind of weird caterpillar eating up my birch leaves as well....never seen them before. They're yellowish black and kinda curl up like an inch worm on the leaves....probably about an inch long. edit...looks like sawfly caterpillars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad whatever fungus is around killed off many of the tent worms we have in the spring. I did used to treat the oaks with a naturally occurring bacteria that worked well.

HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 There is a thrift store next to where I work and I just got a $2, mint copy of "Path of Furry" a pictoral history of the 6/01/11 tornado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably fall webworm, aka uglynest caterpillar. Looks messy, has little/no effect on the trees as the leaves being eaten have done nearly all their work already. This is the season when the yellowjackets in particular get both dumb and aggressive. Maybe they sense that the end is near and want to enjoy their last meals, so they become less wary (easier to swat) but more pestiferous than ever. No 80s last month, waiting for 1st 70s this month. (Will undoubtedly come - 15 of 21 Septembers here have reached the 80s and the lowest monthly max is 76.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
