Latin Name | Cydalima perspectalis |
Common Name | Box tree moth |
Biology | A moth of the Crambidae family. Multivoltine (multiple generations/year). Larvae feed on leaves, with 5-6 instars. Pupation occurs in leaf litter or silk cocoons. Adults are active at dusk. |
Damage | Severe defoliation of Buxus species (boxwood), leading to plant stress, dieback, or death. Repeated infestations weaken plants. |
Distribution Regions | Native to East Asia (China, Korea, Japan); invasive in Europe, North America, and parts of South America. |
Monitoring | Pheromone traps using specific sex pheromones; visual surveys for defoliation and larval webs. |
Recommended Traps | Delta traps or bucket traps baited with C. perspectalis sex pheromone lures. |
