I did get to them with the sevin before they got my peaches and pears but they ruined my apples and the winter moths got to all my blueberries. Those damn winter moths actually get into the buds before anything leafs out so you don't even know they are there until it is too late. Got to get them real early in the season.
Most of the damage in my area is being done by the Forest tent caterpillar, different than the tent caterpillar which you can identify by the tell tale nest. They come out first before the gypsy moth caterpillar. In case you are interested you tell the forest tent from the tent caterpillar because the forest tent has a series of white key-holed-shaped spots down the lenght of their backs. The regular tent caterpillar has a long straight white line down their backs. The gypsy moth caterpillar has starting from behind their head 5 rows of paired blue dots followed by 6 pairs of red dots. They all look some what similar. The winter moth is a green caterpillar. I know too much info.
I am glad I cleaned my gutters with all this rain only problem is now with clean gutters the water really flows into my flooded cellar.
I guess no plug assembling today.
