## Summary

Zeuzera pyrina, the leopard moth or wood leopard moth, is a moth of the family Cossidae.
It is considered a pest by fruit growers, as the larvae feed on branches of many kinds of fruit trees. Olive trees in particular are very susceptible and can be killed by the larvae burrowing within them.
