AGM eggs begin hatching into caterpillars in the spring. All of the damage caused by the spongy moth is done during the caterpillar stage, as the insects feed on leaves during this active period of growth. Caterpillars stop feeding when they enter the pupal or cocoon stage. This stage begins...

They are also incapable of producing enough wax to construct nests or the cells in which to deposit their eggs. These evolutionary adaptations have rendered the gypsy cuckoo bumblebee helpless in supporting the growth of its offspring. Behavior Gypsy cuckoo bumblebees are notorious for their ...
Image courtesy of U.S. CBP It is unlikely that live AGMs will be encountered by vessels in transit. It is more likely that egg masses will be found. Female AGMs are active flyers and are attracted to bright lights, therefore AGM eggs may be found in the vicinity of exterior lights and...
Although eggs of the gypsy moth Lymantria dispar (L.) supercool, a steady and substantial portion freezes and dies at a steady temperature below −26°C. The rate of freezing at steady temperature is about 1% per min at −27°C and changes about tenfold per degree. The freezing of th...
Dispersal of first-instar gypsy moth larvae in relation to population quality Field studies of dispersal by first instar gypsy moth larvae indicate that almost all larvae undergo an initial dispersal episode. However, in laboratory studies large larvae (from large eggs) disperse more frequently than ...
L. dispar eggs and artificial diets were purchased from the Research Institute of Forest Ecology, Environment and Protection, Chinese Academy of Forestry (Beijing, China). The eggs of L. dispar were wrapped in gauze, soaked in 10% formaldehyde solution for 90 min, washed with tap water, and...
