PALMER

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 645 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PALMER , a
pilgrim
  who as a sign or token that he had made
pilgrimage
  to Palestine carried a palm-branch attached to his staff, or more frequently a
cross
  made of two strips of palm-
leaf
  fastened to his hat. The word is frequently used as synonymous with "
pilgrim
  " (see
PILGRIMAGE
 ). The name "palmer " or " palmer-worm " is often given to many kinds of hairy cater-pillars, specifically to that of the destructive tineid moth, Ypsilophus pometella. The name is either due to the
English
  use of " palm " for the blossom or catkin of the willow-tree, to which the caterpillars
bear
  some resemblance, or to the wandering pilgrim-like habits of such caterpillars. Artificial flies used in angling, covered with bristling hairs, are known also as " palmers " or " hackles."
