Found inEntomological Society of America website, May 11, 2022: Spongy Moth Transition Kit (Society has adopted "spongy moth" as the new common name for the species Lymantria dispar; name replaces "gypsy moth," which the Society removed from its list of common names in July 2021 due to "gypsy" being a widely acknowledged ethnic slur and the dehumanizing effects of the common name)
