American chestnut moth : ウィキペディア英語版 | American chestnut moth
The American chestnut moth (''Ectoedemia castaneae'') was a species of moth in the family Nepticulidae. It was endemic to the United States, including Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania. The wingspan is 7.5-8 mm. The larvae formed galls encircling young twigs of American chestnut, resembling in shape and size egg-masses of the forest tent caterpillar. The moth's synergistic relationship with the North American nut species led to a catastrophic population decline when almost all of the American chestnut trees fell victim to an chestnut blight. The American chestnut was driven almost to extinction, and the American chestnut moth was driven over the edge. ==Source==
