Gillmeria Tetradactyla
''Gillmeria ochrodactyla'' is a moth of the family Pterophoridae found in Asia and Europe. It was first described by the Austrian entomologists, Michael Denis & Ignaz Schiffermüller in 1775. Description The species was known as ''Gillmeria tetradactyla'' until recently, but is now known as ''Gillmeria ochrodactyla''. ''Gillmeria tetradactyla'' is now an invalid name. Reason for this decision is to eliminate the confusion with '' Platyptilia tetradactyla''. ''Gillmeria ochrodactyla'' has a wingspan of and is superficially similar to '' Gillmeria pallidactyla''. ''G. ochrodactyla'' has brown and white bands on its hindlegs below the middle spurs, whereas the legs of ''G pallidactyla'' are not banded. The moth is single-brooded, flying from late June to August, can be found resting on the flower-heads of the larval food plant, tansy ('' Tanacetum vulgare''). After dark, the imago will come to light. The larvae initially feed on tansy ('' Tanacetum vulgare'') flowers in Augu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pterophoridae
The Pterophoridae or plume moths are a family of Lepidoptera with unusually modified wings. Though they belong to the Apoditrysia like the larger moths and the butterflies, unlike these they are tiny and were formerly included among the assemblage called "microlepidoptera". Description and ecology The forewings of plume moths usually consist of two curved spars with more or less bedraggled bristles trailing behind. This resembles the closely related Alucitidae (many-plumed moths) at first glance, but the latter have a greater number of symmetrical plumes. The hindwings are similarly constructed, but have three spars. This unorthodox structure does not prevent flight. A few genera have normal lepidopteran wings. The usual resting posture is with the wings extended laterally and narrowly rolled up. Often they resemble a piece of dried grass, and may pass unnoticed by potential predators even when resting in exposed situations in daylight. Some species have larvae which are stem- ...
