Gypsy moths spend the fall and winter as eggs. The eggs hatch into tiny larvae about the time that leaves begin to appear on trees in the spring. Caterpillars feed for almost 10 weeks and may grow to a length of 2 Vi inches. Full-grown caterpillars change into pupae, a resting state that lasts about two weeks. In July and early August, moths emerge from the pupal cases, mate, lay eggs and die - they do not feed.
The whitish female moths are too full of eggs to fly. They remain near their pupal cases and release a powerful chemical (pheromone) to attract the smaller brown male moths which are strong fliers. Each female lays several hundred eggs in an oblong egg mass covered with soft, buff-colored scales. Eggs are deposited in bark crevices and holes, under rocks, in wood piles, on buildings
