In New Jersey, following a warm, dry spring, just the kind of weather that can make the insects thrive, this year’s infestation has been called one of the largest in recent years. That state’s agriculture department expects more than 200,000 acres to be defoliated this year, up from 125,000 last year. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
