1150131	elm sawfly	Cimbex americana	The elm sawfly is not considered a problem in forest situations, but can be a defoliator of shade and ornamental elm and willow trees. The elm sawfly is the largest North American sawfly with larvae reaching a length of almost two inches. The larvae pictured here were found feeding on an American elm tree in Bastrop, Texas (near Austin, TX) on May 2, 2002. Larvae are a yellowish-white color and possess a black dorsal stripe. While feeding, the larvae usually coil their posterior around a leaf or twig. At rest the larvae roll into a characteristic tight coil. The larvae spin tough, papery cocoons in the litter or just below the surface of the soil.

1150120	giant bark aphid	Longistigma caryae	The giant bark aphid is the largest aphid in North America. During December 2001 and through most of March 2002, an outbreak of this aphid was found covering about the eastern quarter of Texas. They mainly attacked oak trees, especially live oak and water oak. Natural enemies, such as lady beetles, played an important role in controlling aphid populations. During winter months when temperatures are cold, predator and parasite insects are not very active, and this may be the reason aphid populations became so large early in 2002.

5425610	western pine beetle	Dendroctonus brevicomis	Based on the open, branching gallery patterns and large exit holes, combined with the pattern of tree mortality (all trees in the same stage of foliage fade), we concluded that the primary bark beetle present was the western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis. This species is known to frequently kill drought-stressed pines in the Davis Mountains. We were unable to collect any adults to confirm the species. To my knowledge, however, the southern pine beetle has never been collected from the Davis Mountains, although it attacks ponderosa pine in Arizona and New Mexico

The elm sawfly is the largest North American sawfly with larvae reaching a length of almost two inches. The larvae pictured here were found feeding on an American elm tree in Bastrop, Texas (near Austin, TX) on May 2, 2002. Larvae are a yellowish-white color and possess a black dorsal stripe. While feeding, the larvae usually coil their posterior around a leaf or twig. At rest the larvae roll into a characteristic tight coil. The larvae spin tough, papery cocoons in the litter or just below the surface of the soil.

0007057	truncated true katydid	Paracyrtophyllus robustus	Closer examination of damaged post oak trees revealed that a very unusual outbreak of the katydid was causing the defoliation. The katydids were found on post oak foliage and evidence of their feeding was very obvious
1669054	southern pine beetle	Dendroctonus frontalis	pitched out beetle
1150142	giant bark aphid	Longistigma caryae	As aphids feed, they excrete a sticky, clear liquid known as honeydew that often forms a sticky coating on automobiles, picnic tables, lawn furniture, and plants underneath plants where aphids are feeding. A gray-black, sooty mold soon begins to grow on the sugar-rich honeydew, and it not only blocks sunlight and disrupts photosynthesis, but it can damage the finish on cars, chairs, tables or other objects.
1150143	lady beetle		Natural enemies, such as lady beetles, played an important role in controlling aphid populations. During winter months when temperatures are cold, predator and parasite insects are not very active, and this may be the reason aphid populations became so large early in 2002.
1150144	Pandora sphinx	Eumorpha pandorus	The pandora moth is listed as a minor defoliator of plants in the grape family in Wagner, D. L., V. Giles, R. Reardon, and M. McManus. 1997. Caterpillars of Eastern Forests. USDA, FS. FHTET-96-34. Page 16. The larva occurs in an orange and a green color phase. The mature larva is about three inches long and the large, oval, white spiracle patches make the caterpillar quite showy.
1150126	elm sawfly	Cimbex americana	The elm sawfly is not considered a problem in forest situations, but can be a defoliator of shade and ornamental elm and willow trees. The elm sawfly is the largest North American sawfly with larvae reaching a length of almost two inches. The larvae pictured here were found feeding on an American elm tree in Bastrop, Texas (near Austin, TX) on May 2, 2002. Larvae are a yellowish-white color and possess a black dorsal stripe. While feeding, the larvae usually coil their posterior around a leaf or twig. At rest the larvae roll into a characteristic tight coil. The larvae spin tough, papery cocoons in the litter or just below the surface of the soil.
1150127	walkingstick	Anisomorpha spp.	This walkingstick is found in parts of the southern US. The male is much smaller than the female and when they are mating, the female carries the male. In fact the male is so small and well camouflaged, he is hard to see. When disturbed, they will give off a foul-smelling odor in the form of a fine mist.
1150130	tersa sphinx	Xylophanes tersa	The naked pupa is usually found in the soil.
1150084	forest tent caterpillar	Malacosoma disstria	The forest tent caterpillar occurs throughout the eastern United States and is a defoliator of a wide variety of hardwood trees. This is the tent caterpillar that does not make a tent! There is one generation per year and the insect overwinters in the egg stage. An unusual outbreak of the forest tent caterpillar occurred in East Texas in the spring of 2002 where some 125,000 acres of bottomland mixed hardwood forest were moderately defoliated. Because they do not defoliate all the trees in mixed deciduous stands, light defoliation may be difficult to see from the air. Moderate defoliation shows up from the air as a gray-green color.
1150085	forest tent caterpillar	Malacosoma disstria	As the larvae grow, they molt as a group and a concentration of cast larval skins can often be found.
1150086	forest tent caterpillar	Malacosoma disstria	The larvae don’t construct a characteristic tent like the eastern tent caterpillar. Instead, they construct silk webbing that lies flat on the surface of the tree’s trunk and branches. The colorful larvae are easily identified by the "keyhole" or "footprint" pattern on their dorsal surface.
1150088	forest tent caterpillar	Malacosoma disstria	The larvae feed on sweetgum, tupelo gum, black gum, and various species of oak.
1150089	forest tent caterpillar	Malacosoma disstria	The larvae don’t construct a characteristic tent like the eastern tent caterpillar. Instead, they construct silk webbing that lies flat on the surface of the tree’s trunk and branches. The colorful larvae are easily identified by the "keyhole" or "footprint" pattern on their dorsal surface
1150115	giant bark aphid	Longistigma caryae	The giant bark aphid is the largest aphid in North America. During December 2001 and through most of March 2002, an outbreak of this aphid was found covering about the eastern quarter of Texas. They mainly attacked oak trees, especially live oak and water oak. Natural enemies, such as lady beetles, played an important role in controlling aphid populations. During winter months when temperatures are cold, predator and parasite insects are not very active, and this may be the reason aphid populations became so large early in 2002.

0007066	twig girdler	Oncideres cingulata	Pencil-sized twigs of pecan, hickory, elm, and other tree species are commonly girdled in the fall. It is not unusual to see branches on the ground under attacked trees or to see broken branch "flags" hanging from the crown.
0007067	twig girdler	Oncideres cingulata	By circling the branch many times, the adult female will cut the branch with a very neat and precise cut. The cuts are so unique that it is easy to tell when a twig girdler has visited the tree.
0007072	question mark	Polygonia interrogationis	Chrysalis is rather drab and well camouflaged, except for about eight bright silver spots. They usually attach their posterior end to a leaf with silk threads and hang from the leaf until they emerge as adults.
0007073	question mark	Polygonia interrogationis	A typical anglewing. It is a fast and strong flier and has beautiful markings on the uppersides of the wings.
0007074	question mark	Polygonia interrogationis	The undersides of the wings resemble a dead leaf and bear the silver comma and dot typical of this species.
0007044	larger canna leafroller	Calpodes ethlius	When a larva is not feeding, it will fold a canna leaf over itself. The folded leaf is secured with silk threads.
0007045	larger canna leafroller	Calpodes ethlius	After about 10-14 days of feeding, the larva pupates. Notice the silk thread that secures the pupa on a pad of silk inside a folded canna leaf. Also note the characteristic anterior spine (right) and the enclosed proboscis extending beyond the cremaster (left).
