The viburnum shrubs are in bloom.

I was hoping the cold winter would have killed off the bugs, but apparently not.

I’ve sprayed insecticidal soap, but it’s not doing a lot of good. I’ve seen shrubs completely defoliated by them, so I’ll try to keep that from happening.

Here’s something beautiful to end with, in case tiny, leaf-destroying caterpillars are not your thing.

I like these snowballs much more than the other kind.
