Abstract
The satin moth, occurring widely throughout Europe and Asia as a defoliator of poplars and willows, was first found in North America near Boston, Mass., in 1920. It was first noted in the Maritime Provinces in 1930 (Reeks and Smith, 1956). During 1920 it was found in New Westminster, British Columbia, and in 1921 a larger infestation probably of several years' standing was discovered in Vancouver, which Glendenning (1932) believes to be the original point of introduction into British Columbia. In 1922 the insect was discovered at Bellingham, Washington, and it has since spread throughout western Washington and Oregon.Keywords
