| | Gypsy moth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Toxic to bees and some gypsy moth parasites. | | | Gypsy moth egg masses are laid on branches and trunks of trees, but egg masses may be found in any sheltered location. | | | Diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses contribute to the decline of gypsy moth populations, especially during periods when gypsy moth populations are dense and are stressed by lack of preferred foliage. |

| | Gypsy Moth in North America |
| | Gypsy moth hosts are located through most of the coterminous US but the highest concentrations of host trees are in the southern Appalachian Mtns., the Ozark Mtns., and in the northern Lake States. | | | The gypsy moth is known to feed on on the foliage of hundreds of species of plants in North America but its most common hosts are oaks and aspen. | | | Gypsy moth populations are typically eruptive in North America; in any forest stand densities may fluctuate from near 1 egg mass per ha to over 1,000 per ha. |

| | Gypsy moth can be killed by certain insecticides if their populations are very high and they threaten to severely damage very valuable trees. | | | Gypsy moth defoliates trees, and those trees that succumb are usually in poor condition before the moth strikes. | | | Gypsy moth avoids green, white and black ash, cedar, locust, balsam fir and scotch pine. |

| | Due to increasing gypsy moth populations in northeastern Ohio, the State and Federal Departments of Agriculture established a quarantine in 1987 to limit the spread of this destructive pest. | | | Gypsy moth surveys conducted by the Ohio Department of Agriculture revealed a slight increase in population densities on State and private forested areas throughout Ohio in 2004. | | | Increased gypsy moth damage is expected as the insect spreads into the State's unglaciated oak-hickory forestlands. |

| | Gypsy moth is susceptible to attack by various natural enemies such as parasitic wasps (parasitoids), predators, and pathogens (fungi and viruses). | | | The major parasitic wasps are the egg parasitoid, Ooencyrtus kuvanae and a parasitic fly of the caterpillar, Blepharipa pratensis. | | | It is possible that this fungus, which is found in the soil, may follow the spread of Gypsy moth. |

| | The gypsy moth is not immune to population regulation; however, because it is an exotic pest, the normal "checks-and-balances" that are found in its native land are either missing, or, are not in synchrony with its life cycle (Montgomery 1992). | | | The goal of the current IPM practices for the gypsy moth (and numerous other pests) is to reduce damage or pests to an acceptable level while considering the safety of workers and other people, animals and plants, and controlling cost as well as preserving the stability of the landscape ecosystem (Harris 1992). | | | The gypsy moth continued spreading and in 1912 quarantines were established in an effort to help reduce the spread and prevent new infestations of other areas. |

| | Female gypsy moths cannot fly and have the habit of depositing their eggs on objects near the trees on which they were feeding as caterpillars. | | | The gypsy moth is a leaf-eating insect belonging to the insect order lepidoptera which includes butterflies and moths. | | | Because of the way the moth deposits eggs, people camping in infested areas during prime egg-laying periods (July through mid-August) are particularly susceptible to carrying the pest home on camping gear or even in the wheel wells of their cars. |
