I haven’t seen the moth, but it was here a couple of years ago -- we nearly
lost an arborvitae to it. I picked out over 100 cocoons from the plant and
destroyed them. It was looking about like a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Whenever I passed this species in the Pre-tort plates on MPG, I thought it
looked like a mangled fly. When one showed up last night, I almost ignored it
but then something in the back of my brain reminded me that it was a moth.
