Bistonini
The Bistonini are a tribe of geometer moths in subfamily Ennominae. As numerous ennomine genera have not yet been assigned to a tribe, the genus list is preliminary. In addition, the entire tribe is sometimes merged into a much-expanded Boarmiini. In other treatments, the Erannini are included in the present group. They overall resemble the Boarmiini, which are certainly closely related. Bistonini tend to retain more plesiomorphic traits (they are rather basal in the expanded Boarmiini) and contain many species that are very large and hairy by geometer moth standards, somewhat resembling Arctiidae.Young (2008) Selected genera and species * '' Agriopis'' ** Spring usher, ''Agriopis leucophaearia'' ** Dotted border, ''Agriopis marginaria'' * '' Almabiston'' * '' Amorphogynia'' * ''Apocheima'' * ''Biston'' * '' Chondrosoma'' * '' Cochisea'' * '' Hypagyrtis'' * '' Larerannis'' * ''Lycia'' ** Brindled beauty, ''Lycia hirtaria'' * '' Megabiston'' * '' Microbiston'' * '' Nyssiod ...

Spring Cankerworm
''Paleacrita vernata'', the spring cankerworm, is a moth of the family Geometridae. The species was first described by William Dandridge Peck in 1795. It is found in North America from the Atlantic Ocean west to Alberta, Texas and California. The length of the forewings is 11–18 mm for males. The females are wingless. Adult males are on wing from February to late May. The larvae feed on various deciduous trees and shrubs, but especially '' Acer'', ''Ulmus'', ''Betula'' and ''Prunus'' species. Oaks (''Quercus'') are also affected, and many homeowners place sticky bands around trunks of their trees to trap the migrating adults as they climb the tree to lay eggs. The eggs hatch, turning into numerous inch-long worms that can defoliate and kill a tree. The worms often fall from the canopy onto passersby. Usually they are suspended by a line of silk that they can climb back into the tree along, should a spring wind dislodge them from their meal of leaves. Etymology The specifi ...
