Because of a Storm: The Spongy Moth A Small Bug with a Big (and Icky) Impact

Raining poop! Clouds of moths! Leafless summer trees!

Sound too strange to be real?

It's not! Welcome to a spongy moth outbreak!

This bug-filled adventure tells the story of an invasive species that's been bugging North America for over 150 years. It's as gross as it is fascinating! Travel back to the 1800s to learn how this problem started. Meet a modern-day scientist who's been studying these pesky bugs for over 30 years. His research is helping us understand their impact on humans and forest ecosystems. Find out how acorns, mice, birds, mammals, weather, and fungi can play a role in a spongy moth outbreak.
