II. 60050 a lubtidiary at McHvnry Sovinfi and loan Various insect; pests now infecting foliage Many types of insects, especially caterpillars, are now a common sight in yards and gardens throughout McHenry' County. Some of these are serious pests, while others do relatively little damage. Fall webworms are probably the biggest tree insect problem in the area right now. Large, conspicuous webs covering the ends of branches of many trees and shrubs are the mark of this insect. Oftentimes these tentlike structures of the fall webworm are misidentified as gypsy moths, which do not make tentlike webs and are not currently a problem in McHenry County. feeding4on\ various trees, in­ cluding chqrry, birch, maple and willowThese are large, green, soft-boiled.^caterpillars with yellow, red andfelue fleshy projections callesT tubercles. These insects seldom occur in large enough numbers on a tree to cause major damage to warrant spraying. Any of the above insecticides will control them if needed, however, Large, soft-bodied green worms which have been showing up on tomato plants are tomato hornworms. Usually picking them off by hand is enough to control them, or spray with Bacillus thuringiensis or car- baryl. As is the case about every summer, picnic beetles are again a problem in area gar­ dens. These are small, black, hard-bodied insects with four yellowish-orange spots on their bodies. These are attracted to overripe or rotting fruit, so the best control measure is to remove all overripe or rotten tomatoes, berries, apples, squash and other fruits and vegetables in the area. Keeping garbage cans covered also helps prevent attracting them to the area. Finally, imported longhorn weevils have been a nuisance for many homeowners this sum­ mer. These are small, grayish insects that have appeared crawling across patios or up walls in large numbers. Spraying along the foundation with diazinon (Spectracide) should reduce the number en­ tering the home. For additional information; contact the McHenry County office at 789 McHenry Ave., P.O.

As these caterpillars grow, the nest will expand to cover more foliage. These caterpillars will not kill the tree since they are feeding , late in the season, but can still cause considerable damage and are unsightly. The best way to control fall webworms is to clip off and destroy the nest. Spraying is only effective if the webs are small, so the insects will enlarge it over treated foliage, or if part of the web is torn open to allow penetration of the insecticide. Choices of insecticides to use include Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel, Thuricide, Bactur), carbaryl (Sevin), malathion, or acephate (Orthene). Larva of Cecropia and Polyphemus moths are also now Look what's happening at JCPenney this weekend:
