The overabundance of gypsy moths this year can be attributed to several factors, including favorable weather conditions that have supported their reproduction and survival rates. Additionally, a lack of natural predators and parasites, which typically help control gypsy moth populations, has allowed their numbers to surge. Increased availability of food sources, such as oak trees, also contributes to their rapid population growth. As a result, outbreaks can occur, leading to significant defoliation and ecological impacts.
