| Latin Name | Thaumetopoea processionea | 
| Common Name | oak processionary moth | 
| Biology | Lepidopteran (Notodontidae); larvae form communal silk nests; feed on pine needles; larvae have urticating hairs; univoltine.  | 
                                
| Damage | Defoliation of pine trees; larval hairs cause allergic reactions in humans/animals.  | 
                                
| Distribution Regions | Europe (e.g., France, Italy, Germany) and Middle East (e.g., Turkey) in pine forests.  | 
                                
| Monitoring | Pheromone trapping (sexual pheromones); visual detection of silk nests.  | 
                                
| Recommended Traps | Delta traps or funnel traps baited with Thaumetopoea processionea pheromones.  |
