Ho Andy and lorraine! We've had so many guests complaining here at the resort, Andy. They could hardly get into their rental units and the outdoor pools were filled with caterpillars. Even now we have to check our lawn furniture closely before we sit down or grill outside. It's pretty grim. The Stste said that the spray they used last year wasn't effective enough so they didn't repeat it this year. Good luck in New Zealand in the Spring, lorraine. Vicki

I know just what you mean about the Gyp Moth.
