A while back we introduced you to some caterpillars that chew on Ontario’s trees. Click through to see a few more in the sawfly family that feast on conifer nee...dles. Sawflies get their name from the saw-like appearance of the ovipositor, or egg laying structure, used to cut into the needles where they lay their eggs. #MNRFScience See more

Good day for the dog to stay home

Hemlock Woolly Adelgids begin to hatch from their egg sacs in June. These newly hatched nymphs, know as crawlers, will be moving around the hemlock looking for ...a place to start feeding before becoming inactive for the remainder of the summer. With recent confirmed reports of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid along the Niagara River, it’s an important time to be on the look-out for this invader. If you see it, be sure to take a photo and report it by calling 1-800-563-7711 or visit www.eddmaps.org/ontario
