The conifer apid Cinaria curvipes from the family Lachnidae is native to North America. It was introduced to Europe in 1999 and was reported from the Czech Republic in 2006. This insect species has drawn attention to itself with its extraordinary ex¬pansion and a massive plague particularly of exotic fir species.
