Thread: Catalpa worms.

John,
I use to get them off of Viar rd.and 104 but they have not been on there several years or someone beat me to them. From what I understand it takes several years before they will get on a tree but you can't harvest all of them from that tree. Just google it and you could understand it better than me explaining it. Hope this helps and hope to get on the water soon before Justin gets all the fish! LOL!!!!

Dont worry bout me, worry bout this front and the rain. You really should be makin some time to get out there with stumps exposed. I made yankee a believer

West Tn,
I hope to get out there in a couple of weeks, but with the photos you have been posting I do not know if there are any left!!! Ha! Ha!:D

Something has defintely put a hurt on them around here. There are at least 10 catalpha trees around my property and every summer they were always covered up with worms up until about 8-10 years ago.

We haven't seen them here in Southern Illinois in several years either.

Your trees still have beans?

Ours don't have beans anymore..

I believe that a lot of the side road trees don't get any worms any more because the state/county started spraying the roadside to kill grass. The catalpa worm nests underground. The worm morphs into a big moth.......The chain was broken by the spray...
