| 2652078 | Adult(s) | top view of adult Asian female - longer and stronger wings allow for flight-female of North American/European gyspy moth is flightless. In addition to flight, Asian gypsy moth have broader host range than gyspy moth. Asian gyspy moth will feed on conifers while gyspy moth won't. Note that only caterpillar stage of either strains feed, adult moths are short-lived and do not feed. The adults only mate, lay eggs and then die. |
