Females depositing egg masses
Reasons To Be Concerned About GM * Negative impact on health of people, plants, and the environment *Spread easily (naturally and artificially) *Populations increase quickly *Caterpillars feed on over 500 types of plants
GM egg mass on outdoor toy GM egg mass on boat trailer Approximately ~260,000 household moves yearly from quarantine area to non-infested areas.
WDA WDA Purdue University Female gypsy moths hide their eggs anywhere... Vince Burkle, IDNR
APHIS is responsible for preventing human-assisted spread of the Gypsy Moth
