We had gypsy moths bad about four years ago, but not so right now. It was so bad then, you could hear the sh|t hitting your truck when you were stopped on a dirt road with trees on each side. In the middle of summer, it was like November in terms of low leaf cover due to gypsy moths eating off the leaves. There is some kind of blight that hits them hard sometimes after rain, and most diedbefore eating nearly everything.
