You may have walked through a tangle of their silk threads. Or felt an errant one crawling up your neck, just like I did the other day.
Here in North Carolina, the spring cankerworms — those tiny, bright green inchworm-like caterpillars — are out in full force!
Our colleague Steve Frank in NCSU’s Entomology Department gives you the scoop on cankerworms in an article in the Wednesday (3.28.12) News & Observer and over on his lab’s EcoIPM blog.
Hi Holly,
I’m Josh at The News & Observer, writing about this very worm. Hope you’ll contact me at 829-4818.
Thanks,
J
Thanks, Josh! Just sent you an email introducing you to Steve. Hope you two can connect!
