| 0718014 | maple trumpet skeletonizer | Catastega aceriella | |
| 0718020 | oak leafminers | Cameraria spp. | |
| 0718003 | yellownecked caterpillar | Datana ministra | |
| 0717027 | Nantucket pine tip moth | Rhyacionia frustrana | Stunted branch with much damage. |
| 0717028 | Nantucket pine tip moth | Rhyacionia frustrana | Area of Christmas Tree plantation with heavy damage. |
| 0717024 | Nantucket pine tip moth | Rhyacionia frustrana | Close up of twig damage |
| 0717025 | Nantucket pine tip moth | Rhyacionia frustrana | Bud damage. Note hole down the center of the bud. |
| 0717026 | Nantucket pine tip moth | Rhyacionia frustrana | Note resinous bleeding at base of bud. |
| 0717018 | Japanese beetle | Popillia japonica | A minor pest of Christmas trees, which chew small holes in tender young twigs. This feeding leaves a wound where small amounts of resin collect. The resin dries, leaving small white spots on the bark. |
| 0717023 | Nantucket pine tip moth | Rhyacionia frustrana | Note the rounded, stunted growth. |
| 0717012 | bagworm | Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis | Note the defoliation on top of this fir tree. |
| 1122015 | maple trumpet skeletonizer | Catastega aceriella | |
| 5427662 | banded woollybear | Pyrrharctia isabella | Crawling across mulch |
| 5427665 | boxwood leafminer | Monarthropalpus flavus | |
| 1122001 | black vine weevil | Otiorhynchus sulcatus | |
| 0717016 | bagworm | Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis | Overwintering bag of the bagworm cut open. The overwintering stage is an egg mass inside old bags. This offers an excellent opportunity for control as these bags filled with eggs can be picked off and destroyed. |
| 0718004 | yellownecked caterpillar | Datana ministra | |
| 5382300 | bagworm | Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis | Gall caused but constriction around the silk attachment point of the bagworm |
| 5382324 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | 175 eggs |
| 5382325 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 5382326 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 5382327 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 5382328 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 5382329 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | Pryeria pre-pupa |
| 5382330 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 5382331 | red-humped oakworm moth | Symmerista canicosta | |
| 1341006 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | With penny for size comparison |
| 0717013 | bagworm | Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis | Close up of the bagworm, full-grown larval stage. In late summer, it permanently attaches itself to the host tree on a small branch. |
| 0717014 | bagworm | Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis | Cross section of a gall caused by the silk of the bagworm. |
| 0717015 | bagworm | Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis | Gall caused by silk of the bagworm. This gall is approximately two years old. |
| 0718019 | boxwood leafminer | Monarthropalpus flavus | |
| 1341001 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 1341002 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 1341003 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 1341004 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica | |
| 1341005 | euonymus leaf notcher | Pryeria sinica |
