Odonestis Pruni
''Odonestis pruni'', also known as the plum lappet moth or the plum eggar, is a species of moth, belonging to the family Lasiocampidae. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. It is native to Eurasia. Description The wing colour ranges between yellow and orange, with reddish and brownish markings. On each forewing, there is a distinct white dot in the centre, near which lie two darker bands. Its wingspan is variably described as between 20-30mm or 40-60 mm. Males are paler than females and, like other members of the genus, smaller. The caterpillar is between 45mm and 70mm long, with a blueish-grey body, brown head and golden lines running up the length of its body. It also may have grey or golden spots. Taxonomy The moth was first described in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus in his 10th edition of the ''Systema Naturae''. It was originally described as '' bombyx pruni,'' though later reclassified in 1812 as the sole member of the newly-constructed ''odonestis'' genus. The plu ...

Pseudandraca Gracilis
''Pseudandraca'' is a monotypic moth genus of the family Endromidae erected by Tamotsu Miyata in 1970. The genus was previously placed in the subfamily Prismostictinae of the family Bombycidae. Its only species, ''Pseudandraca gracilis'', was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1885. It is found in Japan.

Oberthueria Falcigera
''Oberthueria falcigera'' is a moth in the family Endromidae. It is found in Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu). The wingspan is 38–46 mm. Adults have a dark ground colour, varying from very dark dusty yellowish grey to smoky brown or greyish brown. The wing pattern is darker and sometimes hardly visible. The submarginal field of the forewings is sometimes suffused with greyish-brown scales. There are orange scales on the hindwings. Adults are on wing from June to late August, probably in two generations per year. The larvae feed on '' Acer'' and ''Quercus An oak is a tree or shrub in the genus ''Quercus'' (; Latin "oak tree") of the beech family, Fagaceae. There are approximately 500 extant species of oaks.

Bombyx Mori
The domestic silk moth (''Bombyx mori''), is an insect from the moth family Bombycidae. It is the closest relative of ''Bombyx mandarina'', the wild silk moth. The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of a silk moth. It is an economically important insect, being a primary producer of silk. A silkworm's preferred food are white mulberry leaves, though they may eat other mulberry species and even the osage orange. Domestic silk moths are entirely dependent on humans for reproduction, as a result of millennia of selective breeding. Wild silk moths (other species of ''Bombyx'') are not as commercially viable in the production of silk. Sericulture, the practice of breeding silkworms for the production of raw silk, has been under way for at least 5,000 years in China, whence it spread to India, Korea, Nepal, Japan, and the West. The domestic silk moth was domesticated from the wild silk moth ''Bombyx mandarina'', which has a range from northern India to northern China, Korea, Japan ...

Bombyx Mandarina
''Bombyx mandarina'', the wild silk moth, is an insect from the moth family Bombycidae. It is the closest relative of ''Bombyx mori'', the domesticated silk moth. The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of a silk moth. Unlike the domesticated relative which is unable to fly or indeed persist outside human care, the wild silk moth is a fairly ordinary lepidopteran. Its main difference from the domesticated taxon is the more slender body with well-developed wings in males, and the dull greyish-brown colour. Phylogeny and systematics ''Bombyx mandarina'' and the domesticated ''Bombyx mori'' constitute two of the currently identified eight species of the genus ''Bombyx'', the true or mulberry silk moths. The origin of the domestic silk moth is enigmatic. It has been suggested that it is the survivor of an extinct species which diverged from the ancestors of ''Bombyx mandarina'' millions of years ago. However, this is based on an untenable molecular clock hypothesis that assumes that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Malacosoma Neustrium
The lackey moth (''Malacosoma neustria'') is a moth in the family Lasiocampidae. It was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. It is common across southern Britain and central Europe. '' Malacosoma'' species are notable for their caterpillars which are brightly coloured and form silken tents to regulate their temperature. ''Malacosoma neustria'' caterpillars are brown with blue, orange and white stripes. The adults are a fairly uniform brown. The larvae feed mainly on trees and shrubs from within their tents. Subspecies *''Malacosoma neustria neustria'' *''Malacosoma neustria flavescens'' Grünberg, 1912 (Morocco, Algeria) *''Malacosoma neustria formosana'' Matsumura, 1932 (Taiwan) Distribution and habitat The lackey moth is widely distributed across Europe, Asia and North Africa. Its habitat is the edges of woodland, bushy grassland, coppices, hedgerows and road verges. The caterpillar's food plants include apple, pear, plum, willow ...
