'The Worm' is spreading, and it's hungry http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1217348688

After initially being spotted in Lawson Hill by a concerned homeowner, the worm has reportedly been spotted from Telluride to Ophir to Norwood. It's been called "the most widely distributed and destructive defoliator of coniferous forests in Western North America."
