We had a bad year withthem a few years ago. I think they eat leave on the trees. They caused a lot of damage at the horse farms around here because they would feast on the cherry trees and then leave their ,well their poop in the pastures. I guess there is some toxin in the cherry trees. The horses would eat it when they ate the grass. It caused a lot of the pregnant mares to miscarry.

I haven't seen any webs in the trees so I don't know where they are coming from. Oh and aparently they shed their skin. It's gross.

Sadiemae said she saw webs in trees and these are the ones to be careful of. Canīt remember the name of them but they are dangerous.

We don't have snakes or catapillars over here. But we do have centipedes (8 inches and a nasty bite), termites, and LOTS of cockroaches of every kind. The "B-52's" are the worst....

I had heard the roach thing about hawaii but didn't know if it was true. What are the "B-52's". Besides a singing group, LOL.

They're a big, brown cockroach that are usually about 2.5 inches long and fly straight at you! Absolutely hate those suckers!

I hate those ugly things. Cut the grass this morning and didn't see any of them. Could be we have had so much rain they went to your neck of the woods. Denise
