Chrysodeixis eriosoma, the green garden looper, known in New Zealand as the Silver Y,[1] is a moth of the family Noctuidae. Mostly cosmopolitan in distribution, it is a pest in Japan, China, India, Sri Lanka, the Malay Peninsula and Australasia.[2] It is present in Hawaii and recorded as an incursion in mainland North America and Russia.[3] It is morphologically identical to Chrysodeixis chalcites and the two may be sibling species.
