Don't plug your Xmas tree into your network!

It has webworms!

That 179-page USDA manual. True, it speaks in frank terms of the many insects, fungi, worms, and other horrors that can invade Christmas trees. There are aphids, spiders, spider mites, weevils, bark beetles, bagworms, budworms, and webworms, not to mention those scale insects. The gypsy moth and its cousins have plagued Christmas trees for more than a hundred years.

Should I worry about bugs in my Christmas tree?

Maybe that’s what’s slowing down your network.

Well, the Web does have spiders crawling it.
