Gipsy Moth Caterpillars
Gypsy moth caterpillars partially or entirely strip trees of their leaves. They prefer oaks, especially white and chestnut. But they’ll also eat alder, aspen, basswood, birch, hawthorn and willow trees.
Where did they come from?
The gypsy moth was introduced to the United States on accident in 1869, by French entomologist Leopold Trouvelet. He was experimenting with silk production, but some of his specimens escaped and over a 20-year period established a successful population. By 1889 it had become a serious pest of deciduous forests and fruit trees. By the end of the 20th century the moth had spread to the western Great Lakes region. Damage is less severe in its original European range, where the moth has several natural enemies.
