Answer Man: Attack of the Killer Moths- April 23, 2005 Some years ago, we were all warned about the invasion of the dreaded gypsy moth, the scourge of the hardwood forest. We were doomed unless we put wide layers of tape around the trunks of all of our trees at the right time of year to stop the larvae from climbing into the trees, where they would consume all of the leaves and kill the tree. And so we wrapped our tree trunks in inverted duct tape -- no easy task -- to catch the larvae. I never caught one; others may have.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A23880-2005Apr3.html?nav=rss_metro/columns/k...

Answer Man: At Home in the Cemetery- April 23, 2005 For your many readers who commute up and down North Capitol Street: There's a very elaborate, redbrick crypt (mausoleum) that was erected in Rock Creek Cemetery a while ago. This week a very large crane installed a copper roof and golden dome on the edifice, which is on the far north end of the cemetery. Could you find out who is -- or is going to be -- buried there It really sticks out among the sedate granite and marble of the other markers.http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A61580-2005Apr17.html?nav=rss_metro/columns/... |
