Hyphantria textor
(gcide) | Webworm \Web"worm`\, n. (Zool.)
Any one of various species of moths whose gregarious larvae
eat the leaves of trees, and construct a large web to which
they retreat when not feeding.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The most destructive webworms belong to the family
Bombycidae, as the fall webworm ({Hyphantria
textor}), which feeds on various fruit and forest
trees, and the common tent caterpillar, which feeds on
various fruit trees (see Tent caterpillar, under
Tent.) The grapevine webworm is the larva of a
geometrid moth (see Vine inchworm, under Vine).
