Is cancel culture bugging you? If so, this won’t help. As reported NPR, insect experts are looking to pummel the problematic and take a big swat at bigotry. A particularly pernicious winged creature — the lymantria dispar — hails from Europe, Africa, and North America. Pennsylvania’s Department of Conservation and Natural Resources describes the species as “a serious forest pest…responsible for killing millions of oak and other species of trees across the state.” The New York Department of Environmental Conservation notes, “[They are] known to feed on the leaves of a large variety of trees such as oak, maple, apple, crabapple, hickory, basswood, aspen, willow, birch, pine, spruce, hemlock, and more. Oak is their preferred species. … When outbreaks occur and populations are high (every 10-15 years in NY), thousands of acres of trees can be damaged.
