Cydalima perspectalis, commonly known as the box tree moth or box moth, is an invasive
species of moth that is native to East Asia, specifically China, Japan, and
Korea.

It is known to feed on the leaves of boxwood plants, which are commonly used for hedging
and topiary in gardens and landscapes.

The box tree moth was first detected in Europe in 2007 and has since spread rapidly
throughout the continent, causing significant damage to boxwood plants.

It has also been reported in other parts of the world, including Canada and the United
States.

In Canada, the box tree moth was first detected in Ontario in 2018. Since then, it has
been found in several other provinces, including Quebec, British Columbia, and
Nova Scotia.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has implemented measures to control the spread
of the moth, including quarantines and the use of pheromone traps to monitor
populations.

In the United States, the box tree moth was first detected in Connecticut in 2018. It
has since spread to several other states, including New York, Massachusetts,
and Pennsylvania.

The US Department of Agriculture has also implemented measures to control the spread
of the moth, including quarantines, the use of pheromone traps, and the release
of natural predators.

The spread of the box tree moth in Canada and the United States is concerning because of
the potential impact it could have on boxwood plants, which are an important part of many gardens and landscapes.
