The fall webworm moth (Hyphantria cunea) is a troublesome pest in Europe and Japan, where its larva attacks fruit trees and ornamental trees such as grape, peach, pear, apple, cherry, poplar and platan. Its female-produced pheromone was first studied by Roelofs and coworkers, who identified three pheromone components A, B and C (Figure 4.42) in 1982. 

Present in glycerolipids as an enol ether sex pheromone in the female moth Hyphantria cunea. Mp —32.3°. Readily forms a dimethyl acetal. 2y4-Dinitrophenylhydrazone Mp 50-51°. 

Aristolochic acid is a feeding deterrent and produces growth inhibition in the larvae of Hyphantria, Spodoptera, and Lymantria (Wink, 1993).
