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.

🤔 Travelling abroad? ✈️ Plant pests can travel too! 🦗🦗 #DYK that introducing pests to new areas can be devastating for the local environment? Don't risk it - don't bring plants or plant products on your travels. 🌱✈️ #PlantHealth #Dontriskit
