Happy Thursday! Back in Florida, my team ran across all these fall webworms. They were absolutely fascinating, but I was particularly captivated by this lady up top! Can you see her? Green Lynx Spider

A Hornworm Tachnid Fly on a white aster. The female of this species lays her eggs on certain moth caterpillars like webworms, tent caterpillars, cutworms, and corn earworms. #InsectThursday 🌱🪰🐛

Look birds, there's free food hanging on a silk thread down off of every tree. Just fly around for a snack! Sincerely, person who is tired of removing mimosa webworms off of hat and body every day.

This week's Crawlies is on Fall Webworms
Many sources describe webs as "unsightly"
Counterpoint: This is ART ‼️ 😍

Pretty sure those are silk-nests of webworms or tent caterpillars.

I had a childhood friend who had something similar happen. We were riding bikes and he crashed into a bush covered in those guys and webworms. He had a long bad summer.

Fall webworms (Hyphantria cunea) make their tents at the ends of branches, unlike tent #caterpillars which make them in the crotches.
And despite their name you can encounter one in the summer or even spring.
These are from August.

A tiny caterpillar, possibly a common Eupithecia moth, Eupithecia miserulata. I love the stripes. It's resting on the remains of a white meadowsweet that was eaten by fall webworms I believe. It was definitely eaten by the webworms, but I'm unsure if it's meadowsweet.

Life consumes life. Fall webworms have turned this black cherry into an all-you-can-eat buffet, stripping leaves down to lace. But nature balances the books one hardworking paper wasp momma is out collecting caterpillars to feed her babies. Circle of life, Southern style. #photography #nature #macro

Here in Central OK, since 2009 I've planted about 900 trees -- native pecans, post oaks, bur oaks, blackjack oaks & persimmons for prairie restoration. ~150 are still alive. Webworms decimated the pecans this year, though. I could've sprayed them, but, eventually, they have to survive on their own.
