![]() Predictors of current climate (WorldClim v.2, CliMond v.1.2 and ENVIREM) and a black locust habitat suitability raster were employed. robiniella across Europe and a Bayesian additive regression trees algorithm (BART), we modeled the distribution of the moth. In 2020–2021, we found areas of massive leaf damage caused by the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) in locations on Trukhaniv Island in Kyiv and some places in the Kyiv administrative region. In Ukraine, it was recorded for the first time in 2003. Since then, it has been spreading across the continent. This phytophage was first discovered in Europe in 1970 near Milano in Italy. In this context, we considered the locust digitate leafminer Parectopa robiniella Clemens, 1863 (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae). In addition to economic interest, these species may be of interest in terms of biological indication of climate changes. The spread and outbreaks of phytophagous pests are often associated with global warming.
