Bug specialists warn gypsy moths threaten hardwood forests as they defoliate trees across the Northeast and Midwest. Kunze notes each caterpillar can eat a square foot daily, with overlapping hatching times sustaining leaf loss and weakening trees unable to rebound after repeated defoliations. The pest’s name derives from its habit of clinging to shelters like trailers and airplanes.
