Silky webs look creepy but are actually harmless
Hungry caterpillars nest in trees
They're big, ugly and found in many Lawrence trees. But the omnous looking webworm nests are harmless, said George Byers, professor emeritus at Snow Entomological Museum.
By Ashleigh Roberts Kansan staff writer
The giant silk webs around clusters of dead leaves are Hyphantria Cunea caterpillar nests. The caterpillars are fuzzy, light brown and have long hair, Byers said.
"It has been a boom year for them," he said. "There are two generations a year. The spring generation doesn't cause much damage, but the second generation is the big one because it largely defoliates some trees."
But he said the trees would not be harmed because they didn't need leaves anymore. Leaves transform sunlight and water into nutrients, but they naturally fall at this time of year.
The caterpillars form communal webs along the outer branches and enclose a group of leaves for food, Byers said.
"It would be nice to get rid of them,
but as long as they're not hurting
anything, there isn't any reason for
pesticide," he said.
"The trees that are hit the worst will usually drop some twigs, but the damage isn't permanent." Byers said.
sad.
Jeremy Philipp, Manhattan freshman, said the webs made the trees look dead.
Spraying pesticides will not harm the caterpillars because the chemicals will not penetrate the outer level of the web. Byers said.

Families play role in electing officials
By Neal Shulenburger Kansan staff writer
As viewers of the Republican and Democratic national conventions found out this year, spouses can play a major role in political campaigns.
While first ladies Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton have become household names, spouses and family at the local and state level can play an important, and sometimes anonymous, role.
tineshare. Barbara Ballard, who is running for the Kansas House of Representatives, said it was a misconception that husbands were not as involved in political campaigns as wives.
"The reason you don't see as many husbands campaigning on T.V. is there are not as many women running for the high visibility offices." Ballard said. "Back when Geraldine
Ferraro was running for vice-president, everyone knew what her husband was doing. He was a big campaign negative for her."
plagued Ballard said that her husband, Albert, was a big help in her campaigns.
"He's in charge of the yard sign committee," Ballard said. "He's the one that helps get them put up and taken down. He's also gone door to door for me several times."
Ballard said spouses' roles in campaigns were significant, although she acknowledged that it was not always common knowledge who a candidate's spouse was.
"Spouses do play a big role in the campaign," she said. "Way back when Adlai Stevenson was running for president, one of the big reasons he lost was that he was divorced. People just didn't want someone without a spouse in that high of an office."
For U.S. Senate candidate Jill Docking, her husband's help on the campaign trail is indispensable. Docking's husband, Tom, is her chief strategist.
"He's enormously involved in the campaign," Docking said. "He ran for governor in 1982, so I figure I have the best strategist in the state of Kansas at my side. His experience is invaluable in planning what my campaign should be like."
Divorce is an issue that State Treasurer and U.S. Senate candidate Sally Thompson is facing in this year's election. Her divorce to Don Calcun, initiated a year ago, hasn't been legally resolved. Despite the public knowledge of the divorce, Thompson's press secretary, Ted Miller, said it had not had any negative effect on the campaign.
Miller, however, said that Thompson's campaign still was family oriented. He said that she had three children and three granddaughters who helped with the campaign.
"He is still a financial contributor," Miller said. "Since it's been public knowledge before the campaign began, it really hasn't become an issue. Really, this is about the first time it has come up."
Ballard said that no matter whether they liked it, nearly every family member of a candidate eventually was drawn into the campaign.
"That's one of the reasons why you always have to check with your family before you go and do something like this," Ballard said. "When you run for office, it's not really just you who's doing it. It affects your family too."
