| Latin Name | Dioryctria resinosella |
| Common Name | Red pine shoot moth |
| Biology | A snout moth (Pyralidae) associated with conifers. Larvae develop in resin ducts of pine trees, with 1-2 generations/year. Pupation occurs in resinous galleries. Adults are attracted to pine volatiles. |
| Damage | Larval feeding damages resin ducts, reducing resin production and weakening tree defense. Causes dieback in young pines; may facilitate secondary pathogen |
| Distribution Regions | Found in pine-dominated regions: Europe, North America, and parts of Asia (where Pinus species are native). |
| Monitoring | Pheromone traps targeting adults; inspection of resinous exudates and larval galleries on pine stems. |
| Recommended Traps | Funnel traps or sticky panel traps baited with D. resinosella sex pheromone lures. |
