Tent caterpillars hatching around town
As people make their way outside to enjoy the warm weather this summer, they may have a few unwelcome guests.
Once again, forest tent caterpillars have emerged in several areas of the city.
Thankfully, the recent bout of cool weather has dampened the speed at which the caterpillars spread. But with several hot dry days in the forecast, the pests will begin to increase their feeding habits in the coming weeks and spread.
According to acting Parks Manager Bob Gill, it is “just a matter of just being patient.”
