I am a new graduate student doing a paper on the host species preferences of
the Fall Webworm,
(Hyphantria cunea) in the Keene, NH area. Here it has an
extreme prediliction for Black Cherry (Prunus
serotina). I am unable to
find any references specifically on H. cunea host selection factors,
although
I note that it appears very polyphagic in horticultural reports
from around the country.
I would appreciate any direction for sources of
information on this topic.
Thanks,
