Bug experts get rid of the name 'gypsy moth'
2021-07-10
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Entomological Society of America is looking for a new name for the insect

  • President said it was an 'ethnic slur' that had been rejected by Romani people

  • She also argued that 'no one wanted to be associated with an invasive pest'

Maybe we should just call it the Rose Lee Moth and everybody will know what we meant?
