The Spongy Moths (formerly called "Gypsy Moths") a The Spongy Moths (formerly called "Gypsy Moths") are hatching in our area. Tour a local woods, and you're likely to see foamy blotches on tree trunks. Inspect these closely, and you may well find tiny (ca. 5mm), hairy black caterpillars emerging from holes in the “sponge”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In hopes of spinning silk, this species was originally imported to Boston in 1868. The silk venture failed, but the caterpillars escaped and have been making their way west ever since. We had quite a Spongy Moth population boom last year, and many trees, especially oaks, were defoliated. A variety of diseases, parasitoids and predators attack this species, and so populations usually crash after 2-3 years. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Those hairs can be irritating, so short sleeves and a picnic table scattered with caterpillars is a recipe for itchiness! #farmscapeecology
