THE FALL WEBWORM 



The caterpillars of this insect congregate in colonies 

 and surround themselves with a web which often reaches 

 the size of a foot or more in diameter. These webs are com- 

 mon on trees in July and August. Cutting off the webs 

 or burning them on the twigs is the most practical remedy.
