Along the coast of central Taiwan, casuarina moth larvae have vigorously "attacked" the coastal windbreak plantations, stripping the beefwood trees (Casuarina equisetifolia) of their green leaves so that they lose their function as windbreaks and their visual attractiveness. Furthermore, the female moths, which are strong flyers, have spread their wings to also threaten central Taiwan's lychee and longan orchards.
