Abstract
"The mimosa webworm, Homadau/a anisocentra Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae}, attacks the leaves of both mimosa and honey locust trees. Two factors have brought about the increased importance of this pest the extensive loss of American elm trees due to Dutch elm disease and phloem necrosis, and the increased use of the honey locust and its varieties as a replacement for the American elm in landscape plantings. Increased use of mimosa in landscape work also is a contributing factor. This pest produces two generations a year in Missouri. However, these generations overlap meaning that some larvae usually are present on infested trees from June until September. The larvae of the second generation often are so numerous in late August that they cause extensive damage to infested plants." -- first page
