Extract
Invertebrate predation of egg masses of the gypsy moth has been little studied in North America despite its reported impact on populations of this pest in Eurasia and North Africa (Nonveiller 1959; Stefanov and Keremidchiev 1961; Hérard 1979). There, on occasion, this feeding guild has regulated local gypsy moth outbreaks (DeLépiney 1933). The most important predators were dermestids of the genera Anthrenus, Dermestes, Megatoma, and Trogoderma.
