Impact: The cactus moth can kill most prickly pear cacti, in particular those species that have flat pads. In Florida, the cactus moth has already caused considerable harm to the six species of vulnerable prickly pears, three of which are state listed. In some places, 75% of the prickly pear cacti have been attacked by the moth, with small individuals at greatest risk of death from these attacks. Most of the peninsula from Gainesville south is now infested. The greatest threat is to the deserts of the American Southwest - from Texas to California - and Mexico.
