   Gypsy \Gyp"sy\, [or] Gipsy moth \Gip"sy, moth\ .
      A tussock moth (Ocneria dispar) native of the Old World, but
      accidentally introduced into eastern Massachusetts about
      1869, where its caterpillars have done great damage to fruit,
      shade, and forest trees of many kinds. The male gypsy moth is
      yellowish brown, the female white, and larger than the male.
      In both sexes the wings are marked by dark lines and a dark
      lunule. The caterpillars, when full-grown, have a grayish
      mottled appearance, with blue tubercles on the anterior and
      red tubercles on the posterior part of the body, all giving
      rise to long yellow and black hairs. They usually pupate in
      July and the moth appears in August. The eggs are laid on
      tree trunks, rocks, etc., and hatch in the spring.
