The story (based rather literally on James Drought's novel) concerns a trio of barnstorming skydivers who arrive one day at a town where one of them has some relatives. That's a shame, because earlier in the movie we do care. We don't care about the characters performing them. But somehow the rhythm of the movie has gone wrong, and at the end we're just watching well-photographed tricks. "Water trees regularly and avoid damaging the roots and bark," Wieferich said.Frankenheimer rises to this problem admirably, and he provides an exciting conclusion when the skydiver's buddy tries to repeat the dangerous, hypnotic stunt. State officials say to reduce the impact of gypsy moths, monitor the health of trees. Up to a million acres were defoliated in some years, said Scott Lint, DNR forest health specialist. The DNR said in its caterpillar stage, the insect caused "widespread defoliation," which destroyed leaves from the 1980s to early 1990s. Mature trees, DNR officials said, can tolerate gypsy moth defoliation with minimal problems, but those that aren't as healthy coupled with years of mass defoliation can take a toll. Male moths are dark in color and fly, while females are white and black with wavy markings and do not fly. In most cases, gypsy moth caterpillars are more of a nuisance in residential areas than in the woods.”įirst discovered in 1954 in Michigan, gypsy moth caterpillars are hairy and grow up to 2-inches long with a pattern of dark red and blue spots. “Only stressed trees suffering from problems like drought, old age or root damage are at high risk. “Gypsy moths rarely kill trees in Michigan,” said James Wieferich, DNR forest health specialist. Heavy defoliation likely will become visible within the next few weeks and persist through mid-July, the DNR said.
The largest defoliation is in Washtenaw, Barry and Ionia counties, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said. The moths also are causing headaches in other areas of the Lower Peninsula. State officials have expressed concern about an influx of invasive gypsy moths in southern Michigan, saying the insects can harm native species and ecosystems.ĭNR officials said a large population growth of the moths in 2018 is spurring more caterpillars to hatch this spring.
