Stalk borer. Papaipema nebris(Guen.), Family Noctuidae. The stalk borer is widely distributed east of the Rocky Mountains. Its larvae feed on a great variety of plants, especially the stalks of corn, cotton, potato, tomato, dahlia, hollyhocks, tiger lilies, tobacco, and giant ragweed. The damage is done primarily by boring and tunneling in the stalks.... The moth is fawn gray or mouse-colored, with the outer third of the fore wings paler and bordered within by a white crossline.  3, record 2, English, - stalk%20borer

The Swiss Pine or Arolla Pine(Pinus cembra; family Pinaceae) is a species of pine tree that occurs in the Alps and Carpathian Mountains of central Europe, in Switzerland, France, Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Slovakia, Ukraine and Romania. It typically grows at(1, 200-) 1, 500-2, 200(-2, 300) m altitude. It often reaches the alpine tree-line in this area. The mature size is up to 25-35 m height, and 1. 5 m trunk diameter. It is a member of the white pine group, Pinus subgenus Strobus, and like all members of that group, the leaves("needles") are in fascicles(bundles) of five, with a deciduous sheath.  5, record 5, English, - Swiss%20stone%20pine
