''Eudocima phalonia'' is a fruit piercing moth of the Noctuidae family. It is found in large parts of the tropics, mainly in Asia, Africa and Australia but introduced into other areas such as Hawaii, New Zealand and the Society Islands. The wingspan is about 90 mm. The adult is considered an agricultural pest, causing damage to many fruit crops by piercing it with its strong proboscis in order to suck the juice. Attempts have been made to control them using baits for the adults, egg parasites and larval parasitoids. The larvae feed mainly on vines belonging to the Menispermaceae but have also adapted to species of ''Erythrina'' and are known to feed on ''Erythrina crista-galli'', ''Erythrina fusca'', ''Erythrina variegata'', ''Carronia multisepala'', ''Hypserpa decumbens'', ''Legnephora moorei'', ''Pleogyne australis'', ''Sarcopetalum harveyanum'', ''Stephania aculeata'', ''Stephania forsteri'', ''Stephania japonica'' and ''Tinospora smilacina''. ==Gallery== File:OthreisFullonica13-1-m.jpg|Male File:OthreisFullonica13-1-f.jpg|Female File:Eudocima phalonia female dorsal.jpg|Female, dorsal view File:Eudocima phalonia female ventral.jpg|Female, ventral view File:Eudocima phalonia male dorsal.jpg|Male, dorsal view File:Eudocima phalonia male ventral.jpg|Male, ventral view File:OthreisFullonica12-1-l.jpg|Larva File:OthreisFullonica12-1-p.jpg|Pupa 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eudocima phalonia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
