The gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, was accidentally introduced to North America by an amateur entomologist in either 1868 or 1869 and has spread across much of the Northeastern United States and Midwest. The defoliation caused by outbreaks of the gypsy moth leads to significant ecological and economic damage and the loss of forest resources. In addition, the large number of caterpillars associated with an outbreak is a general nuisance to people living in the area.
