trees early in the morning will crawl beneath the burlap where they can be observed and destroyed.

The moth larvae will eat at least 500 species of plants. Their favorites are apple, alder, basswood, birch, hawthome, oak, poplar and willow. When possible, they avoid ash, balsam fir, butternut, black walnut, catalpa, red cedar, flowering dogwood, American holly, locust, sycamore, tulip poplar, mountain laurel, rhododendron and arbor vitae.

Their voracious appetites leave yards, woodlots and gardens looking like autumn has arrived early. With light infestation, the effects are generally temporary, lasting only a few weeks until a new set of leaves is produced. But with heavier infestation, trees — particularly those already under stress — may be weakened seriously enough to lose branches or die altogether.
