Lots of tiny green silk worms this year hanging in silky threads all over .Eating a good amount of the Oaks. Little tiny crap all over the cars hoods and roofs. And the Oaks are loaded with acorns based on little limbs coming down . Massive crop this fall. Disaster coming

We have those too. I’ve seen them crawling and also laying dead on the driveway and cars.. but these silk worms are different. They are tiny and blow out of the Oaks and they hang from these very thin silk webs. When you walk , it feels like you’re walking into a spiderweb. They’re everywhere. And they drop these little tiny black balls of crap when they shit . Smaller than the Gypsy moths. They’re not defoliating .. but almost every Oak leaf of all species are eaten to some degree. Whether it’s a few holes in the leaf , or most of the leaf is gone.

Cleaning them up .which is basically impossible . To see that many acorns on them in May.. trust me .. that’s a Foc’ing disaster come late summer / fall. The hope is when the cat 2/3 cane hits in September this year , it blows all the trees down

Get one of those high-powered blowers that blow around 230 mph.

If a Cat 3 comes, it ain't just blowing down trees.

Just let them bury themselves in the ground, then when they sprout you mow the lawn, and they die back and decompose. That's what I do anyway.
