The Browntail Gum Moth (''Euproctis baliolalis'') is a moth of the Lymantriidae family. It is found in the south-east quarter of Australia. The wingspan is about 50 mm. Adults are hairy and brown, with a broad white band along the terminal area of each wing and a dark brown body. The larvae feed on the foliage of ''Eucalyptus'' species. They are initially gregarious and feed only on the surface layer of leaves of their food plant. The hairs can cause skin irritation (urticaria) if the caterpillar is handled, particularly just prior to pupation. Pupation takes place between Gum leaves in a woven cocoon under the bark. ==External links== *(Australian Faunal Directory ) *(Australian Insects ) 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「Euproctis baliolalis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
