Looper, Giant mimosa, Tonga

July 2010. While monitoring the activity of the psyllid, Heteropsylla spinulosa, the biocontrol agent for Giant mimosa at Neiafu, Vava’u, Kingdom of Tonga, a looper caterpillar was found feeding on Giant mimosa flowers. It was successfully disrupting further development. It is possible to give an identification of the larva?
