entomology
This is from the label of a pesticide used in Cyprus: 'σηριβήδια' is in the list of ΕΧΘΡΟΙ, i.e. the pests the product can be used against.
The first part of the word reminds me of silk (σηρικός), but I have no idea what this pest is.
Can someone give me an English equivalent and / or the Latin name?
Thanks
