Agonopterix Rosaciliella
''Agonopterix rosaciliella'' is a moth in the family Depressariidae. It was described by August Busck in 1904. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alaska and western Saskatchewan through Washington to California and Arizona. The wingspan is 20–26 mm. The forewings are ochreous-white overlaid with reddish and suffused with reddish fuscous, and irrorated with sparse blackish scales. The basal portion of the forewings is light and contains a fuscous spot and is followed by a deep reddish-fuscous shade. There is a series distinct fuscous spots on the costa and termen, the former alternated with small whitish-ochreous spots. There are also four white discal spots, edged with black. The hindwings are light fuscous.

August Busck
Augustus Busck (February 18, 1870 – March 7, 1944) was a Danish-American entomologist with the United States Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology.

Moths Described In 1904
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995.

Echinopanax Horridum
Devil's club or devil's walking stick (''Oplopanax horridus'', Araliaceae; syn.

Osmorhiza Chilensis
''Osmorhiza berteroi'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name mountain sweet cicely. Systematics ''Osmorhiza berteroi'' forms a species complex together with '' O. depauperata'' and '' O. purpurea''. Until recently these were all treated as ''O. chilensis'', but a revision resulted in the 3 species being split, and also revealed that ''O.chilensis'', published in December 1830 by Hooker and Arnott was a junior synonym of ''O.berteroi'', published in September of the same year by De Candolle. Studies of both chloroplast and nuclear DNA confirm that the various populations of ''O.berteroi'' are monophyletic . Distribution It has an amphitropical distribution being native to both temperate parts of North and South America. In the Northern Hemisphere it is found boreal zones from Alaska to Newfoundland, extending south to South Dakota, and in mountain ranges adjacent to the Pacific coast from the Alaska panhandle to California and Ariz ...

Oenanthe Sarmentosa
''Oenanthe sarmentosa'' is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name water parsley. It is native to western North America from Alaska to California, where it grows in wet areas, such as streambanks. It is sometimes aquatic, growing in the water. The plant has been used in cultivation in wetlands, and the recent discovery of several colonies growing by a stream in Illinois demonstrates its capacity to become a noxious weed if it is introduced elsewhere. This is a perennial herb growing to a maximum height near 1.5 meters. The leaves have blades up to 30 centimeters long borne on petioles up to 35 centimeters in length. The parsley-like leaf blade is divided into serrated, lobed leaflets. The inflorescence is a compound umbel In botany, an umbel is an inflorescence that consists of a number of short flower stalks (called pedicels) that spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs.

Wingspan
The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan of , the official record for a living bird. The term wingspan, more technically extent, is also used for other winged animals such as pterosaurs, bats, insects, etc., and other aircraft such as ornithopters. In humans, the term wingspan also refers to the arm span, which is distance between the length from one end of an individual's arms (measured at the fingertips) to the other when raised parallel to the ground at shoulder height at a 90º angle. Former professional basketball player Manute Bol stood at and owned one of the largest wingspans at . Wingspan of aircraft The wingspan of an aircraft is always measured in a straight line, from wingtip to wingtip, independently of wing shape or sweep. Implications for aircraft design and anima ...
