Abstract
Through tracking the entrance of tomato leafmining moth, Tutaabsoluta Meyrick (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), into the Egyptian borders coming from Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, the invasion of its caterpillar to the eggplant fruits was internationally documented for the first time under the eggplant greenhouse conditions in Siwa Oasis, Matrouh Governorate, Egypt. The possible reasons that may lead this event to occur in Siwa Oasis rather than in other experimental sites were discussed.
