What do gypsy moths look like?

Gypsy moths have distinctive appearances, with males being brownish-gray and having slender bodies with feathery antennae. Females are larger, typically white or cream-colored, and have a more robust body, often adorned with dark markings. Both sexes feature a wingspan of about 1.5 to 2.5 inches. The larvae, known as caterpillars, are hairy and can vary in color from yellow to green with a characteristic row of blue and red spots along their backs.
