Lymantria dispar Linnaeus ye un lepidópteru de la familia Lymantriidae, d'orixe eurásico. Orixinalmente topada d'Europa a Asia, siendo introducida a Norteamérica a fines de 1860s, ampliando'l so rangu. Tamién la conoz como poliya xitana asiática.^[1]^[2]

Nel so estáu d'imagu tien un marcáu dimorfismu sexual, la fema tien ales carauterístiques de color blancu; amás ye bien cabileñu, siendo incapaz de volar. El so ciclu completu dura un añu.

Les caparines apariense en xunetu, asitiando la puesta en forma de carauterísticos plastones de color mariellu. Los güevos son bien resistentes al fríu. Yá en primavera eclosionan los güevos, y nacen les gates, que van sufrir cuatro o cinco mudes hasta pasar a la fase de imagu. Trátase d'un defoliador, que n'España ataca principalmente al xéneru Quercus, anque puede atacar a otres frondosas.

Canesba.
