The unicolored oak moth Tischeria ekebladella (Bjerkander, 1795) (Lepidoptera, Tischeriidae) in tree plantations of Donetsk
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The presence of Tischeria ekebladella was recorded on all studied oak trees (both solitary trees and group plantings) within the Kalininsky, Leninsky, and Kirovsky districts of Donetsk. However, the pest was not found on solitary trees in the central part of the city, specifically in the Voroshilovsky District. The largest affected leaf areas were observed in group plantings of oaks, particularly in the Botanical Garden Arboretum and the Shiroky settlement. In contrast, solitary trees were either minimally affected or showed no signs of infestation. The number of overwintering moth larvae was extremely low, with only two specimens per 100 leaves.
