California Oak moth infestation on the Stanford campus. Individual live oak trees (Q. agrifolia) have a heavy population of these insects. The photos show individuals (1), masses within a lower crotch of the tree (2) and a tree stripped of ALL the leaves (3). As far as I can tell it is only individual trees and is not widespread in the area. Within a week of this posting I got reports of a flush of adult oak moths on the campus. Also note in Photo 2 in the bark fissure are several Tussock Moth cases of tan and brown

Saw quite a few this morning but only in one area of the Preserve, which was surprising. NOT the swarms seen on campus.

Second hatch of the year. It was much worse down at the main campus

These were EVERYwhere in the oak forests. Never seen these in the East Bay before, but maybe I haven't been paying attention? It would be hard to miss a flight this big, though.

Could easily find on several species of 'live oaks' throughout the park.
