Felt provides detailed information on the moth's life cycle, behavior, and the damage it can cause to trees and forests. He also describes the efforts that were being made at the time to control the spread of the gypsy moth, including the use of natural predators, such as birds and parasitic wasps.The second part of the book deals with the brown tail moth, another invasive species that was causing damage to trees and crops in the northeastern United States. Felt provides similar information on the brown tail moth's life cycle, behavior, and the damage it can cause.Throughout the book, Felt provides detailed illustrations and photographs to help readers identify the moths and understand their behavior. He also includes information on the economic impact of the moths and the ways in which they were affecting local communities.Overall, The Gypsy And Brown Tail Moths is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of invasive species and their impact on the environment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
