The caterpillars lay their eggs on the branches of apple trees, and 

 being hatched by the warmth of the spring, they form clusters, and 

 inclose themselves in a zueb, whence they issue forth in quest of food, 

 and destroy the leaves of this and other trees.— Jeremy Belknap, His- 

 tory of New Hampshire, 1792.
