Gypsy Moths and Larvae Gypsy Moth Larvae are about 2 1/2" long with blue and red dotted backs. They have sections of hair throughout the length of their bodies. Found throughout the eastern regions of the United States and Canada, the gypsy moth has reached areas of the central U.S. as well. Typically it's habitat is in forests or wooded areas. | | | Symptoms of Gypsy Moth Damage Defoliation of a large area of trees is one of the prime symptoms indicating the presence of a gypsy moth infestation. Gypsy moth larvae can actually be seen crawling up trees, roads, walls, and other outdoor areas especially when there is a particularly large outbreak in the region. Results of a Gypsy Moth Infestation Trees that are heavily defoliated by gypsy moth larvae may become weakened and die. Trees that do not die may become stunted in their growth. Trees in a weakened state are more susceptible to disease and other damaging insects which can end up killing the trees.
