I am from New England, and this time every year we have infestations of Gypsy Moth larvae, Lymantria dispar. They run everything, and the nests are about 40 per 8 foot tree and each nest probaly yields 500-1000 young, they also make they're way into your cars, houses etc... they're a problem.
I was wondering if they can be put to some use and be fed? It's about the only thing I can figure out do to with them. For some reason I seem to recall being told they were toxic, the young 'pillars at least.
But if I can feed them, a few peices of leaf on the ground should keep them accessible to all of my scorpions. It would't be nice to feed them because I can take a nest down each time, feed and freeze the rest, they are terrible and I counted a few hundred without even walking around my few acre property.
