Hatchlings in a jar. These were brought inside, so outdoor eggs have probably not hatched. Thought you might like to see how tiny they are (Karen says about 1/8 inch long). |

The arrows point to eggs. |
The top photo shows many more moths on the tree band. If you have eggs below the band, please keep an eye out for hatching, so we can spread the word. The Forest Health Update (linked in the last blog) said that we should be in the tapering off phase of the infestation, and that others nearby had hatched. With this extreme cold, I doubt there is much activity, but the weather is forecast to warm up in the next couple of days.
