Development characteristics of the box‐tree moth Cydalima perspectalis and its potential distribution in Europe

Abstract: The box-tree moth Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) is an invasive pest causing severe damage to box trees (Buxus spp.). It is native to Japan, Korea and China, but established populations have been recorded in a number of locations across Europe since 2007 and the spread of the insect continues. The developmental investigations suggest that larvae overwinter mainly in their 3rd instar in Europe and that diapause is induced by a day length of about 13.5 h. One and a half to 2 months in the cold are necessary to t… Show more

“…The species is native to eastern Asia (India, China, Korea, Japan) [11] and feeds on every one of the most frequently planted box-tree species and varieties in Central Europe [24]. This rapid spread and establishment in European countries can be attributed to the ornamental plant trade as in particular box plants (Buxus sempervirens L.) are very popular ornamental garden plants.…”

“…Corroborating the growing trend of global temperatures and ecological plasticity of this species and the fact that it is a polivoltin species, we can expect an expansion of the spreading area to the northern limit of Europe (IPPC, 2014; Leuthardt and Ramin, 2011; Nacambo, 2012; Nacambo et al, 2014).…”
