Spongy moths are once again making a home for themselves in Vaughan, and, this time of year, they’re emerging as caterpillars. The spongy moth caterpillars are orange, brown and black, and they eat leaves from hardwood trees such as oak, maple, birch and poplar, and select shrubs. As the City of Vaughan’s staff continues to control the population on municipal trees, there are also a few steps you can take to help protect trees on your property.
