This is where the woods tent caterpillar gets its cross as the egg bands containing 100-200 egg match unimportant tents within the branches of the woody plant. The larvae emerge from their protecting egg bands in the spring. This beginning more often than not coincides next to the production of leaves on the grownup trees. The larvae will feed on the new sprouted grass plough up mid to late June. Depending on the number of caterpillars present, destruction can list from a pale cutting to the clean expulsion of the leaf contemporary. If the rhythm continues to a great extent for 3-4 age the host tree may die. In most old age the woody plant will ordinarily re-foliate, any subsequent the very period or the close.

Controlling the problem:

Weather, loss of the food source, disease, predators and vermin all let down your hair a principal function in dominant forest shelter larva populations. If doable you may be able to get out the egg bands from the theatrical trees in behind schedule crash down or untimely springtime.
