Happy New Year!  And the fall canker worms are on the move.  I've had reports from Presidential Lakes, The Meadows, Rt. 206, Eden Estates, and can see lots of moths at my house in the Jersey area at the south end of the county.  We've got them crawling on the house for the first time that I've noticed.  I also had an email from another KG resident who has them on the house and sent a great photo of the adult female.  Thank you for telling me about your moths, and I hope it helps us save our trees.  Enjoy (?) the new photos.
Adult female. Head is up, one leg extended.

Males caught in the wrap, females show as dark spots near the bottom of the band.

The banded tree.

Another shot of banding.  More females on this tree and fewer males.
