Phoracantha recurva (Yellow Phoracantha borer)

Although not economically important in Australia, where it attacks only moribund trees, this insect is an important pest where eucalypts are grown overseas as, when in large numbers, it can kill healthy trees.

Phoracantha recurva is listed in the following regions:

Canberra & Southern Tablelands | South Coast | Hunter Region | Greater Melbourne

Species page sighting lists are under redevelopment and will return very soon.
