Pine-tree lappet
The pine-tree lappet is a moth whose caterpillars eat the needles and bark of pine and spruce trees. It is found across Europe, Asia and North Africa. Its caterpillars are covered in fine, sharp hairs that can irritate the skin and cause a serious illness, so it is important to recognise them and avoid touching them.1

Cara mengenalinya

- Caterpillar thorax has thick, alternating steel-blue bands, and the abdomen has a black mark bordered by irregular white lines.1
- Cocoons are loose and partly see-through, ranging from yellow-brown to deep black, and are often marked with steel-blue hairs.1
- Adult forewings are grey-brown to brown with a reddish-brown band and a dark brown to black stripe along the edges.1
- Females are larger than males, with a wingspan of 70 to 90 mm, while males have a wingspan of 50 to 70 mm and are usually darker.1
