Leek plant damaged by leek moth

---

A Leek plant severely damaged by Leek Moth. This small moth, Acrolepiopsis Assectella only normally affects plants in the south of England, but they are spreading further north. Very young leek plants can be killed. Badly affected plants should be lifted and burned to destroy any caterpillars and moths on the plant.
