Sounds like Ailanthus webworm moth.

Marc,

It was great seeing you and Alice.  I’d brought some gloves for weeding, but inadequate clothes to deal with muddy situations from all the rain.  Sorry I couldn’t join you for any removal actions and that time didn’t allow for even getting to the edges of Swan Park.  I had walked it earlier and sure looked better from when I lived in MD!  Do you happen to know the identity of the bug creating webbing within ailanthus seed heads?  I saw some at the tops of trees at Chapman’s.  There was an even higher density of looked like the same webbing in seed heads of ailanthus at one of my phenology reporting locations here in I – I attached a picture of an infested seedhead.

Just as FYI, I also attached a copy of the monthly invasive report put out within IL.  Most the SW IL reporting is from me.

Sharon

Hi Chapman Forest champions,

This applies to us too. So let us start saving our crops from Ailanthus. Sources of funding can include a combination of agricultural and environmental funding such as from DNR and USDA. How about a combination of 10K from each and see how it goes? The  work needs to include follow up the following year for the juvenile trees of heaven that pop up when the parent tree is dead. They are easily removed by hand.

Hi Dawn and Colleen,

Justification for removing all the Ailanthus to save our Hyattsville residents from losing their grape vines and tree-fruit. Ailanthus as the preferred host for Lycorma delicatula, commonly known as the Spotted Lanternfly (SLF), is a new invasive insect that has spread throughout southeastern Pennsylvania since its discovery in Berks County in 2014. SLF presents a significant threat to Pennsylvania agriculture, including the grape, tree-fruit, hardwood and nursery industries, which collectively are worth nearly $18 billion to the state's economy. https://extension.psu.edu/spotted-lanternfly<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fextension.psu.edu%2Fspotted-lanternfly&data=02%7C01%7C%7C7b206d83c8804616ca1708d5fa4b2fb0%7Ca9061e0c24ca4c1cbeff039bb8c05816%7C0%7C0%7C636690123722607225&sdata=wyVrB4VARVIzNx7LC6uyPx%2FkUO%2FDJqu1kFxxWpREpZ0%3D&reserved=0>
