Target moth species to be controlled on expressways include three species of gypsy moths (Lymantria), Lymantria dispar (a), the pink gypsy moth Lymantria Mathura, (b) and the nun moth Lymantria monacha (c); and two species of Japanese oak silkmoths (Saturniidae), Saturnia japonica (e) and Antheraea yamamai (f). A parasitoid wasp is approaching from the rear of an L. monacha moth (c). Gypsy moths usually lay egg masses on trunks of white birches (moths indicated by yellow arrows, d); thus, artificial objects with a white background are favored as egg-laying sites (a). Photographs in (b) and (f) are courtesy of Dr. H.J. Pflüger. Scale bar = 1 cm
