Gypsy Moth Concerns[/align]Reported by: Chris Cekot[/i][/align]
Saturday, Jun 9, 2007 @11:12pm[/i][/align]UNIVERSITY PARK, CENTRE COUNTY - Gypsy moths are out in force in parts of the Mid-Atlantic.Penn State scientists say they've never seen such a quick development of gypsy moth larvae before.Experts are predicting an especially bad year for trees, primarily oaks, which are the caterpillars' favorite snack.Forestry officials report nearly 700,000 acres of forests were defoliated last year because of the persistent bugs and this year could be worse.The critters are expected to cause damage in central and northeast Pennsylvania.
