Box-tree Moth (Cydalima perspectalis)

            The Box-tree Moth is an Asian species, first recorded in the British Isles from Kent in 2007, where it was attracted to light. Since 2007 sightings have increased greatly and it is now encountered frequently across the south and central London. 
The moth was first reported in Scotland (from Fife) in 2018, and has also been reported from several areas in Wales. 

Where larval numbers are high the Box-tree Moth it can disfigure ornamental Box hedgerows and topiary and can defoliate plants completely. The Box-tree Moth is also considered to be a serious pest in parts of Europe on various species of box. For this reason we have removed all the box hedging from our garden!
