Das Nest der Herbst Webworm sind ein häufiger Bestandteil der Landschaft im Spätsommer.

Im Frühjahr werden Eier gelegt und die Larven schlüpfen aus und durchlaufen eine Reihe von Entwicklungsstadien. Die Larven wechseln die Farbe, haben aber immer schwarze Flecken und sind behaart. Die Insekten ernähren sich in einem Netz, das bis zum Sommerende ziemlich groß werden kann.

Es ist die zu beanstandende Erscheinung des Nestes, die Anlass zur Sorge gibt. Die Insekten verursachen dem Wirt selten ernsthaften Schaden.

Kleine Nester können, wenn sie bemerkt werden, aus dem Baum herausgeschnitten werden. Die Nester sind oft ausgebrannt, aber das Verbrennen kann für den Baum schädlicher sein als die Insektenverletzung.

Zu den Kontrollen gehören Bacillus thuringiensis oder Orthene.
