Bee Moth
''Aphomia sociella'', also known as the bee moth and the bumble bee wax moth, is a small moth of the family Pyralidae (snout moths) and subfamily Galleriinae. Its body and forewings are typically reddish brown, tan, or dark green in color and females have a dark spot in the center of each forewing. The bee moth is native to Europe and are named "bee moths" because they seek out nests of bees and wasps to lay their eggs. ''Aphomia'' ''sociella'' are considered a pest because the bee moth larvae severely damage commercial bee hives. Bee moths are also studied for their unique mating ritual which includes a release of pheromones from both the male and the female along with an ultrasonic signal emitted through the male's tymbals. Description The adult bee moth has a wingspan of 18-40 millimetres (0.71-1.57 inches). The body and forewings are typically reddish brown, tan, or dark green in color. This species is an example of sexual dimorphism where the male moths are generally more ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was described by Ragonot in 1887. It seems to be described from North America, but the origin of the species is unknown. Taxonomy M. Alma Solis and M. A. Metz dispute that ''A. fuscolimbella'', as described by Ragonot, belongs in the ''Aphomia'' genus. Their conclusion is based on morphological analysis, as well as the fact that other ''Aphomia'' species have not been found in the Western Hemisphere. They have not proposed an alternate placement.
