Vist around Colonia San Pere this morning. Usual birds but interesting was this moth.
Apparently its origin is South America. Paysandisia archon. Causes damage to Palm trees!

Hi Mike
Yes, that's right and it causing problems on a large scale to the palms - especially when added to the damage caused by the Red Palm weevil from Asia. The biggest problem is that the moth has also transferred to the native palmetto which, being a much smaller plant, is often killed.
