[MassChestnutOrchards] Winter moths arrive in Rhode Island

[Rufin Van Bossuyt]

I see the dead trees along RT.495. I guess it would actually be southeast of RT.24. I have not been on RT.24 recently.

  rufin probably means along 24 south of 495... 

  i had wm's  at lincoln (04. or possibly 05)). i had to spray, and successfully used bt. i thought they would be very bad the next year, but they were not in evidence at all. actually there is at least one other species (native i think) which has flights of moths at this time of year, which doesn't seem to do quite as much damage as far as i know.  wms are an import, and can be pretty bad.

  i drive daily through an area in weston where there is a great deal of moth flight right now, and has been for the last 2 weeks or so.  hope they don't turn into a problem.   john emery
