evergreen worms

Hi have small evergreens in my courtyard. The evergreen is alive with small dark/brown worms. The worms fit the description of bag worms but I did not notice any bags. What do the bags look like? Thank you Susan

HI Susan, typically the bagworm caterpillars start producing their bags right away. your critters sound more like pine sawflies. check this website for pix also chek with your local extensi office for control http://www.ag.purdue.edu/Extension/Pages/ConsumerHorticulture.aspx http://urbanext.illinois.edu/hortanswers/detailproblem.cfm?PathogenID=79
