Last weekend while driving on Rt 28 I noticed that the mountains looked a little brown in some places. As I got closer I saw that on the southern exposures mostly, that in many places the leaves had been eaten by caterpillars, probably gypsy moth caterpillars. From there I went up Rt 214 to Diamond Notch and went fishing. The damage wasn't as bad there, but there was caterpillars everywhere and some of the maples were missing some leaves. When I got back from fishing there was caterpillar droppings all over my truck. I did notice that in April there was an abnormally large amount of tent caterpillars in the area.
