A REVIEW OF THE LIFE HISTORY, POPULATION LEVELS, AND SPREAD OF THE ANTLER MOTH, CERAPTERYX GRAMINIS (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE), IN NEWFOUNDLAND

Abstract The antler moth, Cerapteryx graminis (L.), first discovered in Newfoundland in 1966, has now successfully established itself over an area of approximately 60 km in the greater St. John’s area and surrounding localities. It has become a pest of limited economic importance in hay and pasture...
