Keep an eye out for low-flying helicopters around the City of Wyoming Wednesday morning as they spray for spongy moths at about a dozen locations around the city. The spongy moth is an invasive species of moth from Europe and Asia that likes to live in oak and aspen trees. The species has been established in Michigan for about 40 years but is still considered an invasive species by the state. The City of Wyoming is using low-flying helicopters Wednesday morning to spray spongy moth insecticide at predetermined locations.
