Abundant over State. June 10th to July 20th. This is a well known pest, the Gypsy Moth, which is most injurious to oaks, but is becoming adapted to an increasing number of other trees including Cypress. Charles Covell Jr. mentioned that"it was deliberately introduced from Europe at Medford, Mass. in 1868 by Leopold Trouvelot, who hoped to raise this moth for silk production. Unfortunately, some of his moths escaped."
