Tent Coterpillars
Now Building Nests
Eastern tent caterpillars are
beginning to build their un
sightly nests again this spring,
according to Donald MacCreary,
extension entomologist at the
Univeisity of Delawaie.
Tent-like nests, composed of
layers of silky web spun by a
group of caterpillars, can be
seen in roadside trees and neg
lected orchaids, he says
Wild cherry trees are the
favorite host for tent caterpil
lars, explains MacCreary Apple
tiees are also high on the list
of favontes But plum, peach,
pear, rose, hawthorne and vari
ous shade and forest trees aie
also susceptible
Control tent caterpillars with
Sevm or DDT used at the rate
of two pounds of 50 percent
wettable powder per 100 gal
lons of water, or three table
spoons per gallon Spray to wet
the foliage thoioughly, even to
the point of run-off
The nests of the tent catei
pillars and the caterpillais
themselves are dxsfiguung to
roadside, orchaid and yaid
trees, says MacCreary When
the caterpillars become abun
dant, they often eat all the
leaves on a tree Although this
weakens the tree, it almost nev
er lulls it outright.
Tent caterpillars can also he
quite annoying when they crawl
around in search of a place to
spin their cocoons, he concludes.
The difference between capital
and labor is simple Having cash
to lend, that is capital, getting
.t back, that is labor
net
Courage doesn't consist in feel
ing no fear, but in conquering
fear
