Are Cankerworms the only ones that "float" down on silk threads in this region? I had a good number of "floaty" catepillars last year in my oak trees but didn't see that were causing any visible damage to the foliage. I've spotted a few already as well and would like to take some proactive measures if they're indeed Cankerworms.

I live in Burleson & have the same worms. There is a good picture & description in Howard's new book. They are devouring my oak trees. I want to stay "organic", but haven't been able to get rid of the little green buggers. I've ordered some T. wasps & Bt but it hasn't arrived yet. Do you or anyone else have any ideas? My wife is ready to scrap organics in favor of saving her trees.
