The mimosa webworm in Missouri
Abstract
"The mimosa webworm is a relatively new insect pest in Missouri. It 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. Coupled with this has been the increased use of mimosa in landscape work."--First page.
