Over the last few days I noticed a lot of chewed-up leaves on the
ground beneath our large 25 foot tree. Upon closer examination I
found the following larvae attached to the leaves, as well as some fly-
looking creatures (not sure if they're related to the larvae).

Can anyone identify the offending vermin? Should I be concerned about
this? What steps should I take to get rid of the infestation and save
the tree?

Jay that is sad, where do you live? In NJ we have many acres of leafless
trees due to Gypsy Moths.

I'm located near Columbus, Ohio.

I just bought some Spectricide Bag-A-Bug Japanese Beetle traps
(interesting article about them he http://thefuntimesguide.com/2005/07/bagabugbeetles.php
). I'll let you all know if I catch a bunch of them.
