Have you spotted moth plant?
This plant pest is a rapid-growing evergreen climbing vine with milky sap that bleeds from all damaged parts.
Moth plant grows up to 10m high very quickly and will completely smother and over-top shrubs, small trees, hedges, fence lines and gardens.
It’s commonly spotted by its flowers from December to May and establishes in all most any frost-free habitat, gardens, urban reserves and intact or disturbed forest margins.
