Beetle ally of gypsy moth arrives in Maryland region
Scientists report a European predator beetle, a caterpillar hunter, arriving in Maryland and Delaware to combat gypsy moth outbreaks. The insect, similar to Calosoma beetles, preys on gypsy moth caterpillars in trees, with releases dating back to 1908 in New England. Officials note its implications for defoliation, noting significant outbreaks on the Delmarva peninsula and growing foothold in the state.

Researchers finger algae as suspect in major fish kills
