Thought they were unusual pinecones at first - until the buggers moved as they were wriggling out to munch on my landscape juniper/pine! If you live in an apartment complex, please let the property manager know to alert the landscape contractors because they cause a lot of expensive damage around the property. Now's the time to remove the ALL the bags and destroy and treat. Ask your horticulturist/arborist for help for the right insecticide!
