Catalpa tree question
Years ago I used to get worms off of the leafs of these trees at a certain
time of the year ( I can't remember which month) and use them for cat fish bait. They were about the best bait I ever have seen for cat fish. I haven't seen any of these leaf worms for many years. The question I have is do they only appear periodically every so many years? I've been watching but haven't seen any. Thanks for your opinions. |

I planted several catalpas a few years back here in Eastern Oklahoma with the express wish of getting some of these worms for bait but I have yet to see my first one. Nowhere within a radius of 20 miles have I seen a catalpa with worms--I don't think the neighbors would like it if I were to import and sow some of these critters on my trees. Bill |
Catalpa tree question
Joe, I used to use catalpa worms for bait when I was kid in central
Ohio. I lived in a small town with several catalpa trees but we only ever found one tree that had the worms. A big catalpa 3 houses down the street seemed to always be worm free. The one tree that had worms seemed to have them every year. That was 30 years ago but I still look at that tree as I drive by when we visit my parents. Steve ... now in the Adirondacks where the few catalpas I ever saw here died out one winter.
