And here are media examples:
1. Gypsy moths are again in the cross hairs of the state Department of Agriculture as the agency has begun its annual trapping effort to see whether any of the pests are here.
The moth is a destructive pest not indigenous to North America. As a caterpillar, the moth attacks more than 500 species of trees and shrubs, according to a Department of Agriculture news release. Last summer the moths defoliated more than 1 million acres of trees across the United States.
Washington has been free of the moth for 35 years, and the Department of Agriculture is hoping to learn of any new introductions of the pest from this year’s traps.
Any new indication of the gypsy moths could spur an eradication treatment the following spring, according to the release.
King County has the most traps, with 5,500 spread from the Port of Seattle to Bellevue and Kirkland. Traps also have been placed in North Seattle, Kent, Auburn and Federal Way and between Carnation and Redmond.
Pierce and Snohomish counties have the second and third most traps, with 2,000 and 1,500 respectively.

2. If Laila Ali needs a grappling lesson, Ronda Rousey is “around.”
The UFC women’s bantamweight champ recently found herself in the cross hairs of the daughter of boxing great Muhammad Ali during an encounter with TMZ cameras in Los Angeles.
