ESA 2001   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) ABSTRACT- The browntail moth Euproctis chrysorrhoea, was introduced to North America near Boston from Europe in 1897. Beginning around 1915, however, browntail populations receded gradually to coastal enclaves at the tip of Cape Cod and on islands in Casco Bay in Maine, where high densities have persisted ever since.
