Leucinodes Cordalis
''Leucinodes cordalis'', the Solanum aviculare, poroporo fruit borer or eggfruit caterpillar, is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It is found in New Zealand, Australia and Indonesia (Sulawesi). In Australia, it has been reported from Norfolk Island, the Northern Territory, Queensland, New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, Victoria (Australia), Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. The species was first described by Henry Doubleday (entomologist), Henry Doubleday in 1843. The length of the forewings is 13.5–15 mm. The forewings are off white with brown tips, as well as a pattern of pale brown blotches. There are two generations per year in New Zealand. In Australia, there may be more generations. The larvae feed on ''Solanum melongena'', ''Solanum muricatum'', ''Solanum aviculare'', ''Solanum lycopersicum'', ''Solanum esuriale'', ''Solanum americanum'', ''Solanum tuberosum'', ''Capsicum annuum'', ''Datura wrightii'' and ''Datura stramonium''.

Henry Doubleday (entomologist)
Henry Doubleday (1 July 1808 – 29 June 1875) was an English entomologist and ornithologist. Henry Doubleday was the eldest son of Quaker and grocer Benjamin Doubleday and his wife Mary of Epping, Essex. He and his brother Edward Doubleday spent their childhood collecting natural history specimens in Epping Forest. He lived at the same time as his cousin Henry Doubleday (1810-1902) the scientist and horticulturist. There is a blue plaque to him at the corner of High Street and Buttercross Lane, Epping. He was the author of the first catalogue of British butterflies and moths, ''Synonymic List of the British Lepidoptera'' (1847–1850). He named a number of new species of moths, including the pigmy footman, Ashworth's rustic and marsh oblique-barred. His moth collection remains intact at the Natural History Museum A natural history museum or museum of natural history is a scientific institution with natural history collections that include current and historica ...

Moths Described In 1843
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well establishe ...

Spilomelinae
Spilomelinae is a very species-rich subfamily of the lepidopteran family Crambidae, the crambid snout moths. With 4,135 described species in 344 genera worldwide, it is the most speciose group among pyraloidea, pyraloids. Description Imagines – the adult life stage – vary considerably in size: the forewing span ranges from 11.5 mm e.g. in ''Metasia'' to 50 mm in the robust-bodied ''Eporidia''. In resting position, the moths exhibit a characteristic triangular shape, with the wings usually folded over the abdomen, the forewings covering the hindwings. Some Spilomelinae diverge from this common resting pattern, like ''Maruca'' with widely spread wings, and ''Atomopteryx'' and ''Lineodes'' with narrow wings folded along the body. All Spilomelinae moths have well developed Insect morphology#Compound eyes and ocelli, compound eyes, Insect morphology#Antennae, antennae and Insect mouthparts, mouthparts, although in the genera ''Niphopyralis'' and ''Siga'' the proboscis i ...

Datura Stramonium
''Datura stramonium'', known by the common names thorn apple, jimsonweed (jimson weed), devil's snare, or devil's trumpet, is a poisonous flowering plant of the nightshade family Solanaceae. It is a species belonging to the ''Datura'' genus and '' Daturae'' tribe. Its likely origin was in Central America, and it has been introduced in many world regions. It is an aggressive invasive weed in temperate climates across the world. ''D. stramonium'' has frequently been employed in traditional medicine to treat a variety of ailments. It has also been used as a hallucinogen (of the anticholinergic/antimuscarinic, deliriant type), taken entheogenically to cause intense, sacred or occult visions.Schultes, Richard Evans; Albert Hofmann (1979). ''Plants of the Gods: Origins of Hallucinogenic Use'' New York: McGraw-Hill. . It is unlikely ever to become a major drug of abuse owing to effects upon both mind and body frequently perceived as being highly unpleasant, giving rise to a state of ...

Datura Wrightii
''Datura wrightii'', commonly known as sacred datura, is a poisonous perennial plant species and ornamental flower of the family Solanaceae native to the Southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. It is sometimes used as a hallucinogen due to its psychoactive alkaloids. ''D. wrightii'' is classified as an anticholinergic deliriant. Taxonomy German botanist Eduard August von Regel described the species in 1859 from material collected in Texas by botanist Charles Wright, and named it after him. The correct spelling since is with one "i", per ICN article 60C.2. The scientific name has frequently been given as ''Datura meteloides'' Dunal, but this name is actually a synonym of '' D. innoxia'' Mill., a Mexican plant with a narrower flower having 10 rather than five "teeth" at the rim. Common names in the US include "sacred thorn-apple" or "hairy thornapple", and sometimes "western Jimson weed" because of its resemblance to ''Datura stramonium'' due to both species ...

Capsicum Annuum
''Capsicum annuum'' is a species of the plant genus ''Capsicum'' native to southern North America, the Caribbean, and northern South America. This species is the most common and extensively cultivated of the five domesticated capsicums. The species encompasses a wide variety of shapes and sizes of peppers, including sweet bell peppers and some chili pepper varieties such as jalapeños, New Mexico chile, and cayenne peppers. Cultivars descended from the wild American bird pepper are still found in warmer regions of the Americas. In the past, some woody forms of this species have been called '' C. frutescens'', but the features that were used to distinguish those forms appear in many populations of ''C. annuum'' and are not consistently recognizable features in ''C. frutescens'' species. Characteristics Although the species name ''annuum'' means 'annual' (from the Latin ''annus'' "year"), the plant is not an annual but is frost tender. In the absence of winter frosts it can survive ...

Solanum Tuberosum
The potato is a starch#Food, starchy food, a tuber of the plant ''Solanum tuberosum'' and is a root vegetable native to the Americas. The plant is a perennial plant, perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile. The potato was originally believed to have been domesticated by Indigenous peoples of the Americas, Native Americans independently in multiple locations,University of Wisconsin-Madison, ''Finding rewrites the evolutionary history of the origin of potatoes'' (2005/ref> but later genetic studies traced a single origin, in the area of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia. Potatoes were Domestication, domesticated there approximately 7,000–10,000 years ago, from a species in the ''Solanum brevicaule'' complex. Lay summary: In the Andes region of South America, where the species is Indigenous species, indigenous, some close relatives of the potato are cultivated. P ...

Solanum Americanum
''Solanum americanum'', commonly known as American black nightshade, small-flowered nightshade or glossy nightshade, is a herbaceous flowering plant of wide though uncertain native range. The certain native range encompasses the tropics and subtropics of the Americas, Melanesia, New Guinea, and Australia. The plant is widely naturalised around the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans, including Hawaii, Indochina, Madagascar and Africa, possibly via anthropogenic introduction in these locales. ''Solanum americanum'' is one of the most widespread and morphologically variable species belonging to the section ''Solanum''. It can be confused with other black nightshade species in the ''Solanum nigrum'' complex. Description ''Solanum americanum'' grows up to tall and is an annual or short-lived perennial. The leaves are alternate on the branch, and vary greatly in size, up to long and broad, with a petiole and a coarsely wavy or toothed margin. The flowers are about 1 cm diam ...

Solanum Esuriale
''Solanum esuriale'' is a species of perennial herbaceous plant native to Australia. Other names Most commonly called quena (may also be spelled quenna), ''S. esuriale'' is often grouped with bush tomatoes. However, it should not be confused with '' S. centrale'', which is produced commercially under this name. It is also sometimes referred to as potato weed, or potato bush. In the language of the Yuwaalaraay people of north-western New South Wales, quena is called bulumburr. In Nyangumarta, the traditional owners of a region of north Western Australia, the plant is known as jinyjiwirrily. Description The plant is green-grey in colour, and grows 15 to 30 cm tall with branches at or near to the ground. Unlike other ''Solanum'' species, it typically does not have prickles, but if present they will be sparse and towards the base of the plant. The plant is covered all over with dense pale stellate hairs. The leaves are oblong or oblong-lanceolate in shape. Lower leaves ar ...

Solanum Lycopersicum
The tomato is the edible berry of the plant ''Solanum lycopersicum'', commonly known as the tomato plant. The species originated in western South America, Mexico, and Central America. The Mexican Nahuatl word gave rise to the Spanish word , from which the English word ''tomato'' derived. Its domestication and use as a cultivated food may have originated with the indigenous peoples of Mexico. The Aztecs used tomatoes in their cooking at the time of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, and after the Spanish encountered the tomato for the first time after their contact with the Aztecs, they brought the plant to Europe, in a widespread transfer of plants known as the Columbian exchange. From there, the tomato was introduced to other parts of the European-colonized world during the 16th century. Tomatoes are a significant source of umami flavor. They are consumed in diverse ways: raw or cooked, and in many dishes, sauces, salads, and drinks. While tomatoes are fruits†...

Solanum Muricatum
''Solanum muricatum'' is a species of evergreen shrub native to South America and grown for its sweet edible fruit. It is known as ''pepino dulce'' ("sweet cucumber" in English, in order to differentiate it from cucumber which is also called "pepino" in Spanish) or simply pepino; the latter is also used for similar species such as ''" S. mucronatum"'' (which actually seems to belong in the related genus ''Lycianthes''). The pepino dulce fruit resembles a melon (''Cucumis melo'') in color, and its flavor recalls a succulent mixture of honeydew and cucumber, and thus it is also sometimes called pepino melon or melon pear. Another common name, "tree melon", is more often used for the papaya (''Carica papaya'') though the pepino dulce plant generally does not look much like a tree; it looks more like a ground cover, trailing plant. The present species is, however, a close relative of other nightshades cultivated for their fruit, including the tomato (''S. lycopersicum'') and th ...
