gypsy moth
A gypsy moth is a species of moth (Lymantria dispar) native to Europe and Asia, known for its destructive tendencies as it feeds on the leaves of a wide range of trees and shrubs, often causing extensive damage. The larvae or caterpillars are particularly voracious eaters. The male moth is brown with feathery antennae, while the female is white or cream colored and larger but flightless. It is named 'gypsy' due to its perceived nomadic behavior.
