Box Tree Moth (Cydalima perspectalis)

According to an article published in Growertalks by JC Chong, box tree moths have been spotted in North America. The article states that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) confirmed the pests' presence in November 2018. "Infestations were detected on boxwoods in residential areas in Etobicoke, Ontario" (Chong). The box tree moth impacts nursery, landscaping, and residential plantings of box wood trees.

A good description of the insect by Chong says, "The caterpillars, which are light green with black stripes and white dots down the back, can grow to 1.5 inches (4 cm) and completely defoliate a boxwood bush. Without management, the defoliation can kill a bush. The attacked bush will also be covered with webbing. Adults have a wingspan of 1.5 inch (4 cm). The wings are white and iridescent, with brown margins. There are two white spots on the front wings."
