The painted apple moth (Teia anartoides) is a tussock moth native to Australia. It is notable as a pest in pine forests, and is classified as a pest in New Zealand.[1] Some sources still refer to this species as belonging to the genus Orgyia, but in 2015 the genus Teia was recognized as a separate lineage.[2]

In New Zealand, controversy over an aerial spraying programme arose when an outbreak of the moth was identified in Auckland.
