2652075 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar closeup frontal view of adult female Asian gypsy moth. Antennae of female is much different than that of the male.
2652076 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar top view of adult Asian female gypsy moth - longer and stronger wings allow for flight-female of European/North American gyspy moth is flightless.
2652077 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar top view of adult Asian female gypsy moth - longer and stronger wings allow for flight-female North American/European gyspy moth is flightless.
2652078 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar top view of adult Asian female - longer and stronger wings allow for flight-female of North American/European gyspy moth is flightless. In addition to flight, Asian gypsy moth have broader host range than gyspy moth. Asian gyspy moth will feed on conifers while gyspy moth won't. Note that only caterpillar stage of either strains feed, adult moths are short-lived and do not feed. The adults only mate, lay eggs and then die.
2652079 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar male(left) and female (right) Asian gypsy moths - shown for comparison
2652080 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar male (bottom right) and female (left) Asian gypsy moth shown for comparison
2652081 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar male (brown on bottom) and female (white)Asian shown for comparison
2652082 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar pinned specimens of Asian gypsy moth males- Note variety in size and coloration.
2652083 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar pinned specimens of Asian gypsy moth males - Note variety in size and coloration.
2652084 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar pinned specimen, adult Asian gypsy moth male
2652085 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar comparison of pinned specimen- adult Asian female (left) and adult female gypsy (right)-note large wings on Asian gyspy moth allow for flight-European female cannot fly. Asian gypsy moth bigger risk because of increased ability to spread after introduction.

2652073 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar Male Asian gyspy moth-visually identical in appearance to regular gyspy moth-need DNA analysis to distinguish strains.
2652074 gypsy moth Lymantria dispar closeup frontal view of adult female Asian gypsy moth. Antennae of female is much different than that of the male.
