Regarding Catawba (Catalpa) trees mentioned above: * What are Catawba/Catalpa Worms?
Catawba worms are actually not worms at all, they are the larvae of a Moth that only eats the leaves of a "Catalpa/Catawba" tree. They only "show up" on Catawba trees seasonally and only on certain trees, making them extremely hard to find. And VERY POPULAR with fishermen. Bream (pronounced 'brim') and crappie (pronounced 'craw-pi') LOVE 'em!
