The three-millimeter-long caterpillars of this moth eat the chlorophyll (tunnels) from the scales of Thujas, making them transparent. In case of serious deterioration, a thu<wbr><\/wbr>ja is eaten completely bare.<br>\nThe Thu<wbr><\/wbr>ja mining moth is native to Canada and North America and has been active in Europe since the 1980s.<br>\nThe caterpillars hibernate in the Thu<wbr><\/wbr>ja leaf. During the spring, they become active. The caterpillars pupate in May; moths emerge in mid-June, laying eggs in the leaves of Thu<wbr><\/wbr>ja. From the eggs hatch the caterpillars that eat their way from the tops of Thu<wbr><\/wbr>ja leaves to the branches over the course of the summer.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=&rdquo;yes&rdquo;][vc_column width=&rdquo;1\/3&Prime;][vc_custom_heading text=&rdquo;Where to find&rdquo; font_container=&rdquo;tag:h4|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&rdquo; google_fonts=&rdquo;font_family:Lato%3A100%2C100italic%2C300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C700%2C700italic%2C900%2C900italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1537946500082{background-color: #536895 !important;}&rdquo;][vc_column_text el_id=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; el_class=&rdquo;entrytxt&rdquo; css=&rdquo;.vc_custom_1573555566491{padding-left: 15px !important;}&rdquo;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantenplagen.nl\/en\/plantenplagen\/thuja\/\" target=\"_blank\" title='[vc_row][vc_column width=\"2\/3\"][vc_column_text el_id=\"topentry\" el_class=\"topentry\"]Thuja is a conifer native to North America that belongs to the cypress family.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=\"middle\" css=\".vc_custom_1627123481876{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 5px !important;background-color: #ccffff !important;border-radius: 20px !important;}\" el_id=\"mobile\"][vc_column offset=\"vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm\"][vc_column_text css=\".vc_custom_1627123409680{padding: 0px !important;border: 0px initial !important;}\" el_id=\"mobiel\"] You are viewing the mobile-adapted version of the page.
