| | Gypsy moth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Toxic to bees and some gypsy moth parasites. | | | 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. | | | During periods when gypsy moth populations are dense, larvae feed on almost all vegetation: To date, the gypsy moth has avoided ash, tulip-tree, American sycamore, butternut, black walnut, catalpa, flowering dogwood, balsam fir, arborvitae, American holly, and shrubs such as mountain laurel and rhododendron. |

| | Minnesota Homeowner's Guide to Gypsy Moth |
| | 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. |

| | Gypsy Moth Management |
| | 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. | | | Incorporating a diversity of new plantings, especially plants less susceptible to Gypsy moth, into landscapes, parks, and recreational areas may minimize the impact of Gypsy moths. |

| | 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 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. | | | 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. |

| | Tebufenozide does not kill moths and is relatively nontoxic to beneficial insects and mites. | | | However, augmentative releases of the tiny, naturally occurring parasitic wasp, Trichogramma platneri, which attacks codling moth eggs, can be used to supplement control with mating disruptants. | | | Because these traps do not attract moths from far, place them in areas of the orchard that are known hot spots and in areas vulnerable to wind where pheromone concentration is likely to be reduced. |
