Anyone know where I can view a picture of the dreaded SVB. Strange as it might seem I don't know if I have ever seen one. Does it have two rows of three little yellow circles on it's back/wings? Thanks for all the help. Peace Wayne

Thanks Shiz, that helps me know that I have never seen a live one...which I presume is a good thing. Any ideas what the one with the two rows of yellow spots is and if I need to worry about it? Peace Wayne

black and yellow catapiller?
horizontal stripes?
perhaps tent catapiller? they love wild cherry trees.

I'm not sure what those would be.

Just be glad you have never seen a SVB. They put a good butt whoopin' on me last year. I buried all my vines so they burrowed into the leaf stems (lost alot of leaves). One also decided to make the stump it's home.
