Images from:
1) Claudia (Gypsy Moths) laying egg nests on a Red Maple. First time I’ve seen them do this. Researched them and found out the caterpillars will defoliate the tree in one season. Killed them with a soapy treatment.
2) Claudia (Dobson Fly) Glad it was dead when found or else I would have freaked out! Turns out they are harmless. This is the male who only lives for a few days to mate. The larvae live in the water (the pond) and eat mosquito larvae. Now I won’t kill any of these if I see them!
