Description:

It seems we have to live with this rapidly naturalised moth in future. The green and black caterpillars feeding on any not protected box-bush so these will look very shabby, many owner give up and remove them. I did some protection using Bacillus thuringensis to kill the feeders, pupae like the one in my hand are not attacked by these bacteria which must be ingested therefore.
