Lymantria dispar
The Asian subspecies (Lymantria dispar asiatica) is native to Asia east of the Ural mountains. Since the early 1990s it has also reached the West Coast of North America. From southern Europe it is spreading north into Germany and other countries, where it mates with the European spongy moth, L. d. dispar. Someone found a colony of these animals in Great Britain in 1995.
