Glenda,
Looks like the late stage winter moth which I understand Mass. has had a
major problem with, as you indicated you had last year. I don't know if you
have seen the update for this pest for Mass. but this link
http://www.umassgreeninfo.org/fact_sheets/defoliators/wm_id_man.html will
give you the complete picture on the effect this pest has had and some
solutions to eradicate this pest beyond what you have already done. Hope it
helps.
