Excerpt from The Gypsy Moth
The gypsy moth occurs in central and southern Europe, northern Africa, and throughout southern and central Asia, including Japan and Ceylon. On the European continent the insect becomes abundant at intervals and causes great damage in certain areas. In general,-however, it is held in check by its natural enemies and is nowhere such a serious pest as it has proven to be in this country. It is now considered a rare insect in England. As most of the earlier collections contained plenty of examples of the gypsy moth and the more recent ones do not, it is fair to assume that it was formerly rather abundant there.
