The Australian grapevine moth (''Phalaenoides glycinae'') is a moth of the Noctuidae family. It is endemic to the south-eastern half of Australia, but is an invasive species in many parts of the world, including Canada and South Africa. The wingspan is about 50 mm. The larvae mainly feed on ''Parthenocissus quinquefolia'', ''Hibbertia obtusifolia'', ''Amyema gaudichaudii'', ''Epilobium ciliatum'', ''Fuchsia'' and ''Oenothera'' species, but mainly ''Vitis vinifera'', hence it is considered a pest. The Indian myna (''Acridotheres tristis'') was introduced into Australia in 1862 to deal with a number of insect pests including the grapevine moth. In this it was unsuccessful, and ironically the bird is now itself considered a pest in many parts of Australia. ==Gallery== File:Phalaenoides glycinae female dorsal.jpg|Female, dorsal view File:Phalaenoides glycinae female ventral.jpg|Female, ventral view File:Phalaenoides glycinae male dorsal.jpg|Male, dorsal view File:Phalaenoides glycinae male ventral.jpg|Male, ventral view 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「Phalaenoides glycinae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
