Tent caterpillars .
are an annual nuisance
Tent catepillars are large
about two inches long when
mature. They have a black
body with rather long hairs,
blue and white side
markings/ and a prominent
white strips down the back.
In the Spring as the trees
leaf out, colonies of these
caterpillars construct their
familiar “tents” or nests in
the forks of trees growing
along roadsides, in brushy
pastures, and in other waste
places. Occasionally trees in
home plantings also become
infested.
According to University of
Delaware Extension garden
specialist Dave Tatnall, the
pest favors wild cherries,
but may also attack apple,
pear, hawthorn, and various
other fruit trees, as well as
shade and ornamental trees.

Infested trees are
sometimes completely
stripped of their foliage by
the voracious larvae.
Though weakened, these
trees are seldom killed. The
caterpillars often cause
added annoyance to gar
deners and homeowners
when they crawl about in
search of more food or a
place to spin their cocoons. -
You can control tent
caterpillars by . several
methods, say the specialist.
The nests can be torn open
and the larvae crushed on
the ground. Sometimes nests
in the smaller forks of
branches can be pruned out
and burned. (One would not
attempt to burn the nests
while they are still in the
tree.)
