Now that the weather is breaking, go out and SCOUT!

On sunny days, go out and scout around your yard . Here’s something to look for~The Evergreen Bagworm.

Commonly known as Bagworm, is a moth that spins its cocoon in its larval life, decorating it with bits of plant material from the trees on which it feeds.

Arborvitae and Red Cedar are the favored host trees of the Evergreen Bagworm, but Cypress, Juniper, Pine, Spruce, Apple, Birch, Black Locust, Elm, Maple, Poplar, Oak, Sycamore, Willow, and over 100 other species can also fall victim to Bagworm infestations. Leaves and buds are both fair game for food.
