Chrysodeixis chalcites: Reported in significant numbers in several greenhouse complexes in southwestern British Columbia in 2005 and 2006 and was occasionally found in the wild also. An eradication program conducted in 2007 seems to have been successful. Previously reported as C. eriosoma (not Doubleday, 1843). |
