d) Autumn gum moth (Mnesampela privata)<br />
Distribution range of autumn gum moth is restricted to coastal areas, as it does not appear to be able<br />
to maintain populations in dry and hot inland areas. Parasitoids of eggs and larvae of this species are<br />
much less common and diverse in WA than in the Green Triangle. However, a type of virus appears<br />
to kill the majority of larvae in late winter in WA. Some species of birds also actively hunt <strong>for</strong><br />
larvae in plantations. Eggs are laid on juvenile leaves only. Thus, most damage occurs in<br />
plantations up to three years old.<br />
