Authors report the reoccurrence of Pareuchaetes pseudoinsulata Rego Barros larvae at Technopark campus, Thiruvananthapuram. The larvae of P. pseudoinsulata were found feeding voraciously on terminal and axillary buds and leaves of Chromolena odorata. The recent report helps to identify the elite and resistant population for further field release to control C. odorata.Keywords

Climate change and invasive species are two of the greatest threats to global biodiversity, and their impacts are compounded when they interact with each other1. For example, altered flow regime as a result of climate change is one of the major pathways by which alien species are introduced into new aquatic ecosystems2, while storms and associated flooding increase their dispersal through escapes from aquaculture facilities3.References
