EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness a sneaky culprit being apprehended - none other than the notorious gypsy moth! With its insatiable appetite for trees and shrubs, especially oaks, this mischievous moth is a serious pest that wreaks havoc on our beloved greenery. Known to have a taste for hornbeam, beech, chestnut, birch, and poplar as well, these pests can cause outbreaks of their ravenous larvae. The result? Severe defoliation that stunts growth and vitality of affected trees. It's no wonder they're public enemy number one among arborists! But fear not! Our hero in this image is none other than the trusty "Gypsy Moth Trap". Designed to lure these leaf-munching marauders with irresistible allurements only moths can appreciate.
