Hundreds of Moth Cats at TPTP

[Peacock Royal]

These moth cats wipe out most of the Singapore Rhododendron (Melastoma malabathricum) at TPTP.

ID of this cat ?

Lymantriidae (tussock moths) of some sort.

Roger.

Amazing defoliation of the plants. :omg:

The Town Council workers will probably be instructed to spray the area with pesticides soon. :sweat:

Thx Roger. I've been wanting to find out the family of this moth since i reared it a few yrs back bt i didn't take any pics of it. A similar cat (http://b-pals.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6134)has been mentioned recently.
