Attack of the Army Worms

Forest Tent Caterpillars (a.k.a. Army Worms) devoured the leaves on most of our trees in June of 2002. Hardest hit were the Popples (a.k.a. Poplar or Aspen), Birch and Apple trees. The Maples (a.k.a. maples) - at least the full grown ones - are apparently not so delectible. Click on photo for larger view
