Caterpillar Attack

[garymc]

My elderberries are being decimated by 2 kinds of caterpillars. The plants are in my muscadine vineyard. I have only seen one such insect on the muscadines, but they're all over the elderberries and other assorted weeds. I've been flicking them off and stomping them so far. In addition to the white ones I'm seeing brown woolyworms also. If this keeps up I may have to get the spray out.

At this time of year, at least for me, i dont care if anything eats the leaves on my fruit trees or grape vines. Figure the leaves will be falling in the next few weeks anyway. And why waste the spray. Am in NW Pa.

I'm more than a few weeks from frost here. Still picking and stomping.
