I'm looking for information on biological controls of gypsy moths.
Particularly plants to plant to attract parasitoids of gm in a
community garden.  Thanks for your help!

Look at the following sites for they may provide useful information.
Gypsy Moth in BC
http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfp/forsite/fhealth/Aerial.htm

Tanglefoot--good for fruit tree traps peach borer ect but not so much gypsy
moth  at
http://www.tanglefoot.com/

then there's Microkill at
http://www.microkil.com/

or simly go to http://members.xoom.com/ecotao/agric/search.htm and search alta
vista using the key words 'safe gypsy moth control' inn the savvy metsearch
box.

Bt is not usually toxic to fish, birds and wildlife but it can kill beneficial
butterfly/moth  larvae/caterpillars.

Might also try OSU's web page at
http://www.capital.ous.edu/oes/
Scroll down about halfway until you see a box called e-answers and click on the
blue print.  You can search their engine using the same key words.
