Tent Caterpillars_Part 1

Unfortunately, this episode's recording doesn't begin until 19 minutes into it.

 

Well, it's that time again to discuss tent caterpillars. Some of our members are experiencing gypsy moth damage upon oak trees, while others are eastern tent caterpillars upon fruit trees. I expect forest tent caterpillars soon on a more commonly found tree--sugar maple. 

We'll discuss some basic biology of these insects and when it's time to take action too.
