Bagworms are small nests resembling a large ladies earring. There is a good photo at: http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef440.asp Tent caterpillars spin these things that look like a mass of spider webs full of caterpillars. There are good photos at: http://www.ca.uky.edu/entomology/entfacts/ef423.asp What you are seeing now is the fall webworm. There are good photos at: http://www.bugwood.org/factsheets/webworm.html Also see: "Leaf-feeding caterpillars confused with gypsy moth" at: http://www.entm.purdue.edu/GM/Trees/...ingPillars.htm Regarding Black Walnuts. I have several acres of them and some of my neighbors do harvest them. I recommend following the instructions posted by the University of Minnesota at: http://www.extension.umn.edu/yardand...404blkwal.html Do not confuse black walnuts with English/Persian Walnuts or Carpathian Walnuts. What you buy in the store for walnuts is English/Carpathian walnuts. Some people in the north raise Carpathian walnuts since they grow in colder climates and are fairly good also. Black walnuts are edible but not as popular since they have a strong flavor. They are mostly used in baking and not eaten raw very often. -- Pardon my spam deterrent; send email to Visit my Rhododendron and Azalea web pages at: http://rhodyman.net/rahome.html Also visit the Rhododendron and Azalea Bookstore at: http://rhodyman.net/rabooks.html Cheers, Steve Henning in Reading, PA USA Zone 6 |
