Parsnip webworm ( Depressaria pastinacella)

Fletcher Wildlife Garden

There is not a lot of wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) at the garden, but the few that are there are now showing signs of the presence of parsnip webworm. This non-native species feeds exclusively on the wild parsnip, but whether it will ever get to the point of controlling the huge populations of the plant around the region, is doubtful.
