DOUG WILSON, THE YOUNG MAN pictured on this page, will be doing the leg work in an intensive gypsy moth trapping program in Rappahannock County.
Like many of our most destructive insects, the gypsy moth is an import from across the pond. A few specimens were imported in 1869 by a Massachusetts naturalist. He hoped to cross breed them with the Japanese silk worm to get a silk producing insect capable of withstanding cold New England weather. Several moths escaped into the surrounding woods when their cage was destroyed in a wind storm. Since then hordes of destructive caterpillars have gradually spread through the northeast.
