Bug out
Something's eating Cape Cod trees. With any luck, something will soon be eating it.
It came as one of those ho-hum press releases: Sen. Therese Murray, D-Plymouth, puts $150,000 in the Senate's supplemental budget for a study of the
European Bud Worm. More pork?
Actually, it's a tale of illegal aliens, CSI-style autopsies of caterpillar ''cadavers'' and the latest in organic pest control.

Winter Moths Back With A Vengeance
You may have noticed some uninvited guests at your home lately. It’s the invasion of winter moths and experts say the sheer number of the moths is a
sign of things to come.
If you've driven up to your house lately and looked around the porch lights, there are just moths everywhere – all over the house.
Those are the winter moths and they showed up a few years ago and basically, they’re not a problem when they’re moths. But wait till next
spring.
Last spring, little winter caterpillars practically defoliated parts of the South Shore.
