Pinus pinaster
The sirex woodwasp only attacks conifers, especially pines. In its usual habitat, these are mainly "Pinus sylvestris", "Pinus pinaster" and "Pinus nigra". In the Southern Hemisphere and in North America, the wasp attacks exotic and domestic pine species, generally in plantations. Examples include "Pinus radiata" and "Pinus taeda" in the United States.
