Lymantria dispar dispar
As soon as I saw your tag I remembered hearing about how bad that species was! Thank you!
The gypsy moth is a horribly destructive invasive species. Very similar to the native tent caterpillar, except that it has red white and blue colorings. Ironic that a caterpillar with such patriotic colors does so much damage to our nation's forests!
