1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

The fall webworm, Hyphantria cunea Drury (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae)
The webworm feeds on a wide variety of deciduous trees and shrubs,
often resulting in complete defoliation.

The extensive tents or webs, for which the insect is named,
may be numerous on one or more trees at a locality.
C ontrol is seldom necessary because the damage is
generally of aesthetic rather than economic importance.
