Arctiini (erebid Moths)
__NOTOC__ The Arctiini are a tribe of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. Systematics The tribe was previously treated as a higher-level taxon, the subfamily Arctiinae, within the lichen and tiger moth family, Arctiidae. The ranks of the family and its subdivisions were lowered in a recent reclassification while keeping the contents of the family and its subdivisions largely unchanged. These changes in rank triggered changes in the suffixes in the names. The subfamily Arctiinae as a whole was reclassified as the subfamily Arctiinae within the family Erebidae. The original subfamily Arctiinae was lowered to tribe status as Arctiini, and its original tribes were lowered to subtribe status by changing the -ini suffix to -ina (e.g., Callimorphini became Callimorphina). Thus, the name "Arctiinae" used to refer to only a subgroup of the entire group of lichen and tiger moths, but now it refers to the entire group. Subtribes (former tribes) Many genera in the tribe have been classifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Garden Tiger Moth
The garden tiger moth or great tiger moth (''Arctia caja'') is a moth of the family Erebidae. ''Arctia caja'' is a northern species found in the US, Canada, and Europe. The moth prefers cold climates with temperate seasonality, as the larvae overwinter, and preferentially chooses host plants that produce pyrrolizidine alkaloids. However, garden tiger moths are generalists, and will pick many different plants to use as larval host plants. The conspicuous patterns on its wings serve as a warning to predators because the moth's body fluids are poisonous. Their effects are not yet fully known, but these toxins contain quantities of neurotoxic choline esters which act by interfering with the acetylcholine receptor. The colours are also ideal for frightening predators such as small birds—the moth normally hides its hindwings under the cryptic forewings when resting. Between stored toxins, conspicuous warning coloration, and sound cues that are generated mostly as a response to bats, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Halysidota Leda
''Halysidota leda'' is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Herbert Druce in 1890. It is found on Dominica, Guadeloupe and Martinique. The habitat consists of hygrophilic (moist) and mesophilic (moderate temperature) areas. The larvae are polyphagous and have been recorded feeding on ''Cecropia'' and ''Miconia'' species.

Utetheisa Pulchella
''Utetheisa pulchella'', the crimson-speckled flunkey, crimson-speckled footman, or crimson-speckled moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. Subspecies Subspecies include: * ''Utetheisa pulchella antennata'' (C. Swinhoe, 1893) (Nicobars) * ''Utetheisa pulchella completa'' Weymer, 1908 * ''Utetheisa pulchella dilutior'' Rothschild, 1910 (Angola, Congo) * ''Utetheisa pulchella kallima'' C.

Utetheisa Ornatrix
''Utetheisa ornatrix'', also called the bella moth, ornate moth or rattlebox moth is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It is aposematically colored ranging from pink, red, orange and yellow to white coloration with black markings arranged in varying patterns on its wings. It has a wingspan of 33–46 mm. Moths reside in temperate midwestern and eastern North America as well as throughout Mexico and other parts of Central America. Unlike most moths, the bella moth is diurnal. Formerly, the bella moth or beautiful utetheisa of temperate eastern North America was separated as ''Utetheisa bella''. Now it is united with the bella moth in ''Utetheisa ornatrix''. The larvae usually feed on ''Crotalaria'' species, which contain poisonous alkaloid compounds that render them unpalatable to most predators. Larvae may prey on other bella moth larvae in order to compensate for any alkaloid deficiency. The bella moth also demonstrates complex mating strategies and is thus an excellent ...
