Default [IBC] bagworms

Justin's new discovery of bagworms is timely for this season - not to be confused with webworms, which are an early spring phenomenon. Webworms form their webs in the crotches of branches, where they deposit their pupae. They need to be smoked out or sprayed before they mature or they will gorge themselves with foliage beyond belief. It's amazing that, with all these bugs, fungi and diseases, our trees manage as well as they do - with a little help from us.
