  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Eastern tent caterpillars,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Malacosoma americanum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(F.) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae), and leaves of their host plant, black cherry,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Prunus serotina&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;Ehrh., were collected in May, 1978, at various distances from the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, Prince George's Co., MD, and were analyzed for lead by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Caterpillars collected within 10 m of the parkway contained 7.1–7.4 ppm lead (dry weight). Caterpillars collected at greater distances from the parkway and from a control area had lead concentrations ca. half as high (2.6–5.3 ppm). Lead concentrations in caterpillars averaged 76% as high as those in leaves and were much lower than concentrations that have been reported in some roadside soil and litter invertebrates.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
