Great News! We have been hearing from MPOA members that the Lymantria dispar dispar (LDD – formerly referred to as gypsy moth) invasion has subsided. Members are not seeing the expected egg masses in their trees this month.

In the FOCA (Federation of Ontario Cottagers’ Associations) August ‘Elert’ there is a Newsletter from the Lake Steward. The newsletter contains a comprehensive article on LDD including the map below. We though you might find the map particularly interesting as it shows that we were at the epicentre of the invasion.

This is the link to the Lake Stewards Newsletter. Scroll to page 14 for the LDD article
