Good news! I don’t have any aspen or willow trees, which are favorite foods of spongy moths.

Bad news! I have oak, birch, crabapple, tamarack, and linden trees. These are also favorite foods of spongy moths.

I saw a lot of Lymantria dispar, spongy moth, in Saratoga County at the start of my Adirondacks trip. Yet even as I am aware of their destructiveness in my part of the world, I cannot help but admire their beauty.
