John, Your worms are actually larvae - an infant state of an adult pest. I have no experience growing these trees so if it were my tree I would get an onsite inspection from a certified arborist. To find one in go to www.tcia.org and enter your zip code. The following link from MSU should also be helpful. http://www.ipm.msu.edu/uploads/files/trainingmanuals_general/general_wholemanual.pdf Also Google pest of hickory nut trees Michigan State University for lots more information and help. Best Nancy
