Then I read the Express-News online and the first letter in Neil Sperry's article was a question about sawfly damage on leaves! He said that the larvae will skeletonize the leaves but won't kill the tree and if they wanted to they could use some BT on it. Thanks for showing the purple caterpillars. I'd never seen them before and will now know what they are if I do!Melodynoreply@blogger.com
