going to be a lot of damage next spring in my area. This is the most I have seen since they became a problem at least in my neck of the woods. Gypsy's, tent's , and now heavy winter moth. That is why you are seeing so many dead oak and maple trees along the highways as they can't take too many consecutive years without death coming. Add a dry summer to boot and it is a death sentence for the trees. I lost a real big oak this past year to them. Hopefully the wet summer we had helped out a little but with all these winter moths it can't bode well next year.
