Peru – “For the past week, Diane Parmeter Wills has been picking caterpillars by the hundreds off her two apple trees at her home in Peru (Clinton County), in the northeastern part of the park. Wills estimates she pulled 2,000 the first day, (easily sliding bunches of them into a pail), 1,000 the second, 600 the third, and 250 on the fourth day, with still more to do.”
