I enjoyed your feature about the Cecropia moth.  Shortly thereafter we had a helicopter spraying around a lake on our property, supposedly for gypsy moths.  I have yet to see a gypsy moth caterpillar this year, or even a tent caterpillar. My concern is that the spray doesn't discriminate which caterpillars it kills. Even a Cepropia larvae. The helicopter flies from Chatham, it has sprayed here 6 times, this morning at 6AM, and directly over our house.  The township informed me that there is no recourse as a private citizen.  The company doesn't have to register its activities. Living close to Frontenac park I would think that they would be concerned about the natural order of things. Just saying.
