The Mimosa Webworm in Missouri
http://muextension.missouri.edu/xplor/agguides/pests/g07251.htm
Two factors have brought about the increased importance of this pest: the extensive loss of American elm trees due to Dutch elm disease and phloem necrosis, and the increased use of the honey locust and its varieties as a replacement for the American elm in landscape plantings. Increased use of mimosa in landscape work also is a contributing factor.
