The Cecropia Moth from North America may look stunning, but it is considered a pest in NZ as the moth's caterpillar eats the leaves of 50 different trees.
Thanks to collections like the New Zealand Arthropod Collection these moths can be quickly identified and eradicated.

Fall armyworm is a major invasive pest with a voracious appetite; its ability to spread and reproduce quickly is one of the reasons it is such a successful invasive species.
