Abstract
Two samples of tomato with damaged fruit imported from Spain were collected from Vilnius vegetable warehouses on 20 May 2009. Only one live Tuta absoluta larva was detected, and it was reared to pupa. Later (during July–September 2009) sticky traps with synthetic sex pheromone blend were used to search for these moths in greenhouses where tomatoes were grown, and in the vicinity of warehouses in which tomato fruit were temporary stored. The tomato pinworm T. absoluta was detected at three sites. The species status in Lithuania: distributed in greenhouses, first records. Five other random moth species were trapped.
