Gipsy moth caterpillars eat leaves on a currant bush 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.
