A man sprays currant bushes with insecticides in the backyard in the Moscow region, Russia. Gypsy moth caterpillars’ damage can be extensive when population densities are high, and it is most severe on small trees. A host plant will usually recover after an infestation without its vigour being affected. However, repeated infestations can negatively impact the plant’s long-term health, and can eventually lead to tree death.
