Those Gypsy Moth caterpillars
are eating my birch tree and my rose bushes.
This one above shows the typical red and blue spots (also below)
on the fourth instar stage of the caterpillar moth.
They will soon seek shelter and pupate
by the end of this month or early July.
Then the moths appear by mid-July.
Another invasion!
My Knock-Out roses have survived Rosy Rosette disease,
but now the leaves are all gone, chewed by the caterpillars.
Disgusting!
And then there are the aphids...
on my beautiful Mandevilla vine,
a gift from a friend.
Will I lose these battles?
Stay tuned.
