Hi I was having a look at the Wiki Pest & Disease section & noticed we have
very little in the section. An excellent sign I must say, pretty good bunch
of growers..

I was hoping someone might add Amaryllis Moth with photos of the moth or
moths that relate to the one with grub with bold black & white stripes.
I have googled looking for photos of the actual moth that relates to this
grub, I am in Queensland Australia so if anyone could point out the moth
that is here, please post a photo so I know what I am targeting.

I haven't sprayed for 10years in my garden & want to try to target the
particular insect if I can, rather than blanket spraying the whole garden.
Could I also have advise on what to use as a preventative on other plants
?, because they are spreading,  first amarcrinums, then crinums & a few
hippeastrums.  The last two weeks I have cut many leaves with grubs
inside them & burnt them but I see they are out growing me while im away at
work 3 days a week, coming home to big grubs eating my bulb cores & new
leaf damage from new grubs.


Thank you
