“prefer <strong>grass</strong>es, especially reye<strong>grass</strong>” (Gregg<br />
1997); “Young larvae ... feed on the roots and<br />
leaves <strong>of</strong> young <strong>grass</strong>es” (Allsopp & Hitchcock<br />
1987 p. 74). Larve “feed on the bases <strong>of</strong> snow<br />
<strong>grass</strong> tussocks” (Edwards 2002 p. 61). Stem and<br />
blade-base most damaging (Chadwick 1966)<br />
“extensive patch death” in <strong>Australia</strong>n Alps<br />
(McDougall &Walsh 2007); “damage to the aerial<br />
parts <strong>of</strong> the tussocks is slight” (Carr & Turner 1959<br />
p. 20).<br />
“eat new green pasture as it appears ... larger<br />
numbers ... eat both new green feed and old dry<br />
pasture”, mature Phalaris tussocks little damaged,<br />
