gypsy moths! In areas that saw defoliation, there are literally thousands of brown moths searching for the females, which do not fly. Female moths will be found on tree trunks, fences, houses, or where ever they pupated. Females are quite large and are white. When their egg laying begins, you will see peanut butter colored egg masses. The number of flying moths is a pretty good indication of next year's caterpillar population. So if you are seeing a lot of moths, please give us a call or send us an email to make sure you receive an estimate for the 2017 season.
