Fig. 22 Forest tent-caterpillar: a cluster of eggs; b female; c top view of an egg; d side view of several eggs (after Riley) 30 Forest tent-caterpillar: maple worm (Clisiocampa dis- stria). Foliage of maple and fruit trees eaten in May and June by hairy blue headed caterpillars with silvery dots along the back. The cocoons are spun in June, the brown moth, with darker oblique bands across the wings, flying in July. Eggs in belts in- circling smaller twigs are covered with a light brown protective substance, and remain unhatched till spring.
