Agriope
''Aglossa'' is a genus of small moths belonging to the family Pyralidae. It was described by Pierre André Latreille in 1796. They are found mainly in western Eurasia, though some species have been introduced elsewhere. This genus is remarkable for the caterpillars, which in some species are able to feed on a wide range of materials that are not usually eaten by Lepidoptera larvae, such as dead insects, manure and straw. The caterpillars of other ''Aglossa'' (e.g. '' A. signicostalis'') are myrmecophilous.Grabe (1942) Adults of the grease moth (''A. cuprina'') sometimes eat fats such as suet.

Grease Moth
''Aglossa cuprina'', the grease moth, is a snout moth, family Pyralidae, described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1872. The grease moth is closely related to the genus '' Pyralis'', and as a result, is usually associated with the meal moth, ''Pyralis farinalis''. ''Aglossa cuprina'' ingests grease produced by the bacteria that feed on decaying matter. Taxonomy ''A. cuprina'' was named by German entomologist Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1872. The specific epithet, ''A. pinguinalis'', its other binomial name, is derived from the Latin, ''pinguinalis'' (greasy). Description The egg of ''A. cuprina'' is an off white rounded oval. During the larval stage, ''A. cuprina'' has a brownish head and greyish body. The ''A. cuprina'' larvae also have black mandibles and a black peritreme (part of the integument of an insect which surrounds the spiracles). They can be distinguished from '' A. caprealis'' larvae by setal differences. The pupae are reddish brown with six curved, hooked setae. ...

Myrmecophilous
Myrmecophily ( , ) is the term applied to positive interspecies associations between ants and a variety of other organisms, such as plants, other arthropods, and fungi. Myrmecophily refers to mutualistic associations with ants, though in its more general use, the term may also refer to commensal or even parasitic interactions. The term "myrmecophile" is used mainly for animals that associate with ants. An estimated 10,000 species of ants (Formicidae) are known, with a higher diversity in the tropics.B. Holldobler and E.O. Wilson, The Ants, Cambridge, Massachusetts: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1990. In most terrestrial ecosystems, ants are ecologically and numerically dominant, being the main invertebrate predators. As a result, ants play a key role in controlling arthropod richness, abundance, and community structure.K. Fiedler, B. Holldobler, and P. Seufert, "Butterflies and ants: The communicative domain," Cellular and molecular life sciences, vol. 52, 1996 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Aglossa Caprealis
__NOTOC__ ''Aglossa caprealis'', the stored grain moth, is a moth species of the family Pyralidae. It is found globally, though its native range is presumably the western Palearctic or nearby regions, as in other ''Aglossa'' species. The wingspan is 23–27 mm. The moth flies from June to August, depending on the location. The larvae feed on dry plant waste, grain (e.g. maize), hay, straw and decaying manure. Sometimes, they even eat animal carcasses, suet, lard, pork rinds and other fatty materials.
