Surveying spongy moth, formerly gypsy moth, egg masses, which are present for nine to 10 months every year, provides a means for pest managers to estimate how high a spongy moth population is likely to be the following year.
The Entomological Society of America has adopted “spongy moth” as the new common name for the species Lymantria dispar. The name refers to the insect’s distinctive sponge-like egg masses and is derived from translations of common names used for the insect in its native range and French-speaking Canada.
