Vermont hardwood forests face a miller crisis
Vermont officials warn of a surge in Bruce spanworm moths, nicknamed millers, in hardwood forests this fall. The adult male moths swarm near light sources while females, wingless, crawl up tree trunks to lay eggs. Eggs hatch into inchworms in spring, feeding on sugar maple and other hardwoods, potentially weakening trees if outbreaks recur.
