These were not in our garden but I had a call from a magazine asking if I had a photo of them, so I sent them this one. It pays to photograph everything. ( photo / image / picture from Kildale's Garden )
We see these on a regular basis...sometimes in Spring but mainly in the Fall. They really do damage to trees.
We get them as well but I get rid of them. I get monthly calls from a garden magazine so I take pictures of everything.
Toni, very interesting, an 'organic' pest control method.... Could you describe 'pop open the web' a little more specifically; I'm thinking I want to try this... Hank
We get them over here as well. I simply rip open the web with a stick and let the wasps and the birds do their job.
I used to get them really bad in Va. and Fla. Have only seen a few "tents" up here in central Ohio. The ones I have had have been white in color.
Very interesting photo kildale. I've seen the webs, a little thinner than yours, but never saw a mass like that of caterpillars.
I only put my picture in because I had it published in a magazine. Certainly caused some interest. I once cut out a nest and put it in a bucket of water, a few days later I tipped it out and it killed a big honeysuckle. Just a warning to others.
