 Greetings, It is that time of year for those unsightly Fall Webworms .  You are probably already noticing them as you drive down the highways.  This insect especially loves Black Walnut trees.  Inside those webs are tasty caterpillars.  Especially tasty if you are a Yellow-billed Cuckoo .  This bird had a feast in the spring with all those Cicadas.  Now they will be feeding on the Fall Webworms.  Please don't spray them, they won't kill your trees.  You will notice a couple branches die back.  Remember, the birds love to eat them.  If you spray them, you could kill the birds that eat them. Here is the Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Finally, I am still working on the changes with the delivery system of this blog.  I will make decisions by next week as to how you will receive this.  Stay tuned!
