Today we noticed these small moths swarming all over the hedge. Its a recently identified Maryland and Virginia non native pest that will strip euonymus. Here's my BugFiles entry for it. Interestingly, I had the comment that that swarmed on the same date , Oct 30, last year too. I now have a reason to feel OK about not getting around to pruning these hedges earlier this fall; now when I prune I'll be getting rid of some of the eggs.

Oops, I ,eant to put this link in to Bugfiles-http://davesgarden.com/guides/bf/go/865/
