Brief description
Hyphantria cunea (Drury, 1773) can impact a wide variety of crop and cultivated broadleaved plant species. Trees/plants are often totally defoliated by the late-instar larvae, particularly in the second generation.
Status and distribution in Luxembourg
So far, Hyphantria cunea (Drury, 1773) has been documented once in 2014 in the Kirchberg district in Luxembourg City (Source ?).
There is no distribution map available because no data has been entered into the Recorder-Lux database so far (MNHNL, iNaturalist & GBIF 2019).
Risk assessment
ISEIA protocol: B1 (3+3+1+2) = Watch List (Ries et al. 2017: 68).
