elm sawfly |
Cimbex americana |
The elm sawfly is not considered a problem in forest situations, but can be a defoliator of shade and ornamental elm and willow trees. The elm sawfly is the largest North American sawfly with larvae reaching a length of almost two inches. The larvae pictured here were found feeding on an American elm tree in Bastrop, Texas (near Austin, TX) on May 2, 2002. Larvae are a yellowish-white color and possess a black dorsal stripe. While feeding, the larvae usually coil their posterior around a leaf or twig. At rest the larvae roll into a characteristic tight coil. The larvae spin tough, papery cocoons in the litter or just below the surface of the soil. |

elm sawfly |
Cimbex americana |
The elm sawfly is not considered a problem in forest situations, but can be a defoliator of shade and ornamental elm and willow trees. The elm sawfly is the largest North American sawfly with larvae reaching a length of almost two inches. The larvae pictured here were found feeding on an American elm tree in Bastrop, Texas (near Austin, TX) on May 2, 2002. Larvae are a yellowish-white color and possess a black dorsal stripe. While feeding, the larvae usually coil their posterior around a leaf or twig. At rest the larvae roll into a characteristic tight coil. The larvae spin tough, papery cocoons in the litter or just below the surface of the soil. This mature larva was found on the ground, probably searching for a pupation site. |

| 0007057 |
truncated true katydid |
Paracyrtophyllus robustus |
Closer examination of damaged post oak trees revealed that a very unusual outbreak of the katydid was causing the defoliation. The katydids were found on post oak foliage and evidence of their feeding was very obvious |
| 0007056 |
truncated true katydid |
Paracyrtophyllus robustus |
Defoliated post oak trees were found and checked in July 2001 as part of off-plot forest health monitoring. It was determined that an area of about 1000-2000 acres was impacted. |

Pandora sphinx |
Eumorpha pandorus |
The pandora moth is listed as a minor defoliator of plants in the grape family in Wagner, D. L., V. Giles, R. Reardon, and M. McManus. 1997. Caterpillars of Eastern Forests. USDA, FS. FHTET-96-34. Page 16. The larva occurs in an orange and a green color phase. The mature larva is about three inches long and the large, oval, white spiracle patches make the caterpillar quite showy. |
| 1150126 |
elm sawfly |
Cimbex americana |
The elm sawfly is not considered a problem in forest situations, but can be a defoliator of shade and ornamental elm and willow trees. The elm sawfly is the largest North American sawfly with larvae reaching a length of almost two inches. The larvae pictured here were found feeding on an American elm tree in Bastrop, Texas (near Austin, TX) on May 2, 2002. Larvae are a yellowish-white color and possess a black dorsal stripe. While feeding, the larvae usually coil their posterior around a leaf or twig. At rest the larvae roll into a characteristic tight coil. The larvae spin tough, papery cocoons in the litter or just below the surface of the soil. |
| 1150084 |
forest tent caterpillar |
Malacosoma disstria |
The forest tent caterpillar occurs throughout the eastern United States and is a defoliator of a wide variety of hardwood trees. This is the tent caterpillar that does not make a tent! There is one generation per year and the insect overwinters in the egg stage. An unusual outbreak of the forest tent caterpillar occurred in East Texas in the spring of 2002 where some 125,000 acres of bottomland mixed hardwood forest were moderately defoliated. Because they do not defoliate all the trees in mixed deciduous stands, light defoliation may be difficult to see from the air. Moderate defoliation shows up from the air as a gray-green color. |
| 1150085 |
forest tent caterpillar |
Malacosoma disstria |
As the larvae grow, they molt as a group and a concentration of cast larval skins can often be found. |
| 1150088 |
forest tent caterpillar |
Malacosoma disstria |
The larvae feed on sweetgum, tupelo gum, black gum, and various species of oak. |
| 1150089 |
forest tent caterpillar |
Malacosoma disstria |
The larvae don’t construct a characteristic tent like the eastern tent caterpillar. Instead, they construct silk webbing that lies flat on the surface of the tree’s trunk and branches. The colorful larvae are easily identified by the "keyhole" or "footprint" pattern on their dorsal surface |

walkingstick |
Anisomorpha spp. |
This walkingstick is found in parts of the southern US. The male is much smaller than the female and when they are mating, the female carries the male. In fact the male is so small and well camouflaged, he is hard to see. When disturbed, they will give off a foul-smelling odor in the form of a fine mist. |

question mark |

Chrysalis is rather drab and well camouflaged, except for about eight bright silver spots. They usually attach their posterior end to a leaf with silk threads and hang from the leaf until they emerge as adults. |
| 0007073 |

Polygonia interrogationis |
A typical anglewing. It is a fast and strong flier and has beautiful markings on the uppersides of the wings. |

The undersides of the wings resemble a dead leaf and bear the silver comma and dot typical of this species. |

larger canna leafroller |
Calpodes ethlius |
After about 10-14 days of feeding, the larva pupates. Notice the silk thread that secures the pupa on a pad of silk inside a folded canna leaf. Also note the characteristic anterior spine (right) and the enclosed proboscis extending beyond the cremaster (left). |
