    Hi. I have a tree in my yard, not sure what kind it is but I've noticed it is covered in tiny worms of some kind that are eating all of the leaves of it. Does anyone know what they are or what can be done about them? Thanks.

    Those are Viburnum beetle larvae
    (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

    Forgot to mention that insecticidal soap with pyrethrum will kill them....
