Important Gypsy Moth Info!
While the feeding damage of gypsy moth caterpillars has been done for some time, the egg masses that are present now can predict what the future holds and what populations are expected to do in 2017. Egg masses laid this year are tan and felt-like in appearance (upper egg mass in the photo). Older egg masses are faded and much lighter in color and appear weathered (lower egg mass in the photo).
