of its life, is a small green inch
worm. Its damage is easily recog
nized by a shot-hole in your trees'
foliage. As the larva grow and ma
ture the damage becomes more se
vere and they will eat the entire
leaf, leaving only a skeleton of the
midrib and main “veins” of the
leaf.
The forest tent caterpillar, at
dps stage of its life, is about one
inch long. The larva is dark in col
or with parallel blue stripes along
the sides of its body with white
spots that appear as “key holes”
along the center of its back. After
eating the foliage of a tree, the
caterpillars will hang from long
threads to the ground or will
sometimes be blown to other trees
using the thread as kind of a “para- (
chute.”'

soon as possible after the decision
has been .made. If you do the
spraying yourself you must fol
low table directions exactly. If you
hire an individual make sure the
individual has the appropriate li
cense from the Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture. Pesti
cides licensed for use include for
mulations of “Bt,” a biological in
secticide, sold as Dipel or Thuri
cide. This insecticide is sprayed
on the leaves and as the larva eat
the leaves they ingest the pesticide
and will die. This insecticide will
generally only affect caterpillars.
Other insecticides include car
baryl (sold as Sevin and Sevimol)
and chlorpyrifos (sold as Dursban
and Pageant). Make sure you take
special care for safety and follow
label directions exactly!
