The Cecropia Moth from North America may look stunning, but it is considered a pest in NZ as the moth's caterpillar eats the leaves of 50 different trees.

Thanks to collections like the New Zealand Arthropod Collection these moths can be quickly identified and eradicated.

[former B3 Director @B3Director]

Tree of heaven is a preferred host of the brown marmorated stink bug. Its important we can find these plants easily so we can find the #BMSB if it arrives in Aotearoa NZ. Great work Fede.

Fall armyworm is a major invasive pest with a voracious appetite; its ability to spread and reproduce quickly is one of the reasons it is such a successful invasive species.
