• The development of Gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) was monitored in laboratory conditions, on the foliage of the species Quercus cerris L. Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl. and Quercus robur L. The experiment was established in the controlled environmental conditions, at the temperature of 25 deg C, photoperiod 14:10 (day:night) and relative humidity 70%. The objective of the research was to determine the suitability of the study host plant species for Gypsy moth development. The study results show that Gypsy moth caterpillars cultivated on Quercus petraea foliage had a lower survival, higher number of moultings, longer preadult development and lower fecundity, which makes this species less suitable compared to the other two. Gypsy moth caterpillars cultivated on Quercus cerris foliage had the highest survival degree, the lowest number of moultings, the shortest preadult development and the highest fecundity, which makes this species the most favourable for Gypsy moth development. Quarcus robur was between the former two species in this respect.
