Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the introduction of the gypsy moth to America, first arriving in Medford, Massachusetts in 1868. The author provides entomological and historical background around the species as it ravaged European forests for centuries prior to its arrival in the United States. In response to the threat it posed, a commission was formed in Massachusetts in 1890 to control and, if possible, eliminate the invasive pest. The book recounts the efforts of the commission, their successes and challenges, and the reasons for the ultimate failure to eradicate the moth. Further, the volume chronicles the continuing battle to control the moth's spread, the devastating impact it has on forests and agriculture, and the challenges presented by its resilience and the lack of natural predators in its new environment.
