Brief Summary
provided by Ecomare
Small ermines are white moths with black spots. As caterpillars, they spin communal tents in trees. The caterpillars in the tents often totally consume the leaves of these trees. In May and June, they sometimes give spindles, hawthorns and other trees in the dunes a very spooky look. However, the damage is limited. After the caterpillars leave, these bushes still turn green.

Stippelmotten zijn witte motten met zwarte puntjes. Ze maken als rups opvallende spinsels in bomen. De rupsen in de spinsels vreten deze bomen kaal. In mei-juni kunnen kardinaalsmutsen, meidoorns en andere bomen in de duinen er soms spookachtig bij staan. Als de rupsen weg zijn, worden de struiken vanzelf weer groen.
