Coming soon to a tree near you That's right, trees may be the next coming attraction for an insect known as the Tent Caterpillar. Malacosoma disstria is the sci- entific name for this voracious lit- tle guy. This cool weather recent- ly has slowed this insect a little, but in the coming weeks, poplar trees could well be breakfast, lunch, and supper (plus a few snacks, in between meals.) Severe defoliation is expected in scattered locations near Lake Nipigon, Geraldton, Terrace Bay, and Thunder Bay. this is the local scenario, The Provincial scenario differs from region to region. This severe defoliation prediction is based on surveys taken last fall. Entomologists (technical term for "insect expert) count deposits of forest tent caterpillar eggs on twigs and branches in sample for- est areas and are able to forecast infestation severity for the fol- lowing spring. The egg masses are described as being brownish-black and area approximately one-half inch in width on the twig and are located, generally, in the upper reaches of the tree. The egg masses look like a swollen section of the twig from the ground.

The insect, in this part of the Province, feeds primarily on poplar leaves and is of great nui- sance in June. There is only one generation a year and outbreaks usually subside after 3 or 4 years. Population decline is generally attributed to a number of factors: adverse climactic factors, starva-' tion in severely defoliated areas, virus diseases and natural preda- tors and parasites. This insect, since it feeds on trees early in the year, is known as an early defoliator. As an early defoliator, this means that the trees will usually be able to grow back their leaves by late June or early July. Healthy trees easily 'survive the successive stripping, some weak trees may not. If further information is required, please contact your local Ministry of Natural Resources District Office.
