Abstract

The horse chestnut leaf miner Cameraria ohridella is a relatively new insect in Europe, which was first observed at Lake Ohrid in 1984. Within the framework of the European Community Project "Controcam", in which Greece participates through the TEI of Kavala, Department of Forestry in Drama, we attempted for the first time to study the bio-ecology as well as the spread of this pest in Greece.
