In West Bridgewater, you are likely finding *Operophtera brumata,
not Operophtera bruceata* (Bruce's Spanworm), although either are possible.
Bruce's ranges across the continent from western Canada to Maine, with a
Californian population as well. Brumata is an invasive restricted mostly to
eastern New England. The Connecticut River Valley is something of a
dividing line in Massachusetts. Brumata is spreading westward, however.
And, they hybridize.
