Sažetak
The caterpillars of many butterflies represent significant pests of various fruit trees. Some of them, as caterpillars of gypsy moth and brown-tail moth in years of massive occurrences cause the defoliation of fruit trees. Their attack results in the physiological weakness of trees, lesser formation of the native buds and especially in reduction in fertility. Exhausted fruit trees are more susceptible to the assault of secondary pests as well as to the consequences of freezing which can cause their complete decay and drying. Drying of trees, as a result of the attack of the gypsy moth and brown-tail moth has been recorded several times in the last few decades because these pests are regularly present in our deciduous forests and low vegetation. Difficulties with the pests of gypsy moth and brown-tail moth occur only in the years of their mass phenomenon when they cause economically significant damage in agiculture and forestry.
