Browntail Moth Information
The Maine Forest Service

Browntail moth caterpillars have hairs that cause a rash and can also cause respiratory distress in sensitive individuals.

This letter is to give notice to towns that have significant detected populations of browntail moth in order to facilitate response by towns and/ or their
residents.
