WAGM talks with Dill about dry weather, caterpillars
WAGM (Channel 8 in Presque Isle) interviewed University of Maine Cooperative Extension Pest Management Specialist Jim Dill about the impact of Maine’s drought on caterpillars. According to Dill, the dry weather has limited the growth of bacteria and fungi that attack caterpillars, making it a good year for them, and particularly for Woolly Bears.
