Bob,
No apology needed brother.
I torch those tent caterpillars too.
They flat out kill several types of trees around here. Noticed them in wild cherry but sure they aren’t limited to that kind.
Catalpa worms are only found in catalpa trees and I’ve noticed they don’t seem to be in the trees that have cigars.
I did read that wasps lay their eggs on the backs of catalpa worms which causes the worm to die.
Not a whole lot known about them that I have read.
Thanks
Chuck
