In Moscow, I found a caterpillar that chewed through the bark and probably was going to gnaw the wood of the tree.
What kind of pest is it?

The photo shows a butterfly caterpillar. The quality of the photo does not allow us to say exactly which one.

at the same time, there are big doubts that it is capable of gnawing bark and even more so wood.

Exotic tree-tangerine. The trunk is as thick as a pencil, already roughened, but there are green areas in some places.
The caterpillar was pulled out of the hole at a height of 2-2. 5 cm. from the ground. I don't think I ate wood.

Here is another photo, but the quality... what it is...

are there any leaves on the tree? Was he recently brought to Moscow?

The pest is local.
The tree is grown from a seed.
Of course, there are leaves, but at 20 cm. above.

I asked about the leaves, i.e. if she ate them and switched to bark, it would be logical. And so strange a little...

Hello. I don't want to start a new topic.

A friend of mine from Sochi asks-who eats wooden floors at her old dacha, located 5 km from the sea? So far, all she finds are piles of wood dust spilling from the ceiling to the floor.

He thinks about the "bark beetle"; - but the bark beetle, like, - will not eat a shriveled tree for so long? Does he indulge in secondary infection? Around the cottage-forest.
