Comments: Geometrid moth, Alsophila pometaria (Fall Cankerworm - Hodges#6258) caterpillar, on ash tree (Fraxinus pennsylvanica). Size: ~ 10 mm. Briar Bush Nature Center, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA. https://bugguide.net/node/view/392760

 

Cankerworm, the locust in its larva state, in which it is most voracious. So does A.V. render the Hebrew, gãzám (גָּזָם) - Strongs: H1501; the word palmerworm (Dichomeris ligulella), given by the D.V. seems better.

Verses:

  • Joel 1:4
  • Joel 2:25
  • Amos 4:9
  • Nahum 3:15
  • Nahum 3:16
