See the brown in the pecan tree? Webworms. Sometimes called Tent caterpillars. They love pecan trees. Annoying pests. They can kill a young tree, even though the Ag center will tell you they are not a threat.
Starting early this year.
Praying for all in the path of the storms this year. Take care. Be safe and God bless.
We have them here too and I feel the same way about them as you do. I don't see how they could not be a threat. We just pull them down when we can reach them and of course don't spray them because the birds will eat them, but again, I hate them "eating" our trees. It's no win, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI admit to using Triazicide spray once a year. When we lived in Sedona, the trees in the canyon would be covered in web worms. I have one tree that gets one little batch of web worms every year. Ugh!
ReplyDeleteThey make such a mess of things.
ReplyDeleteThat is a shame. Seems like there is some kind of insect for every plant. I dread the Japanese beetles, and June is the month for them. Last year they ate all the pole beans, leaves, beans and all.
