Sterrhopterix Fusca
''Sterrhopterix fusca'' is a moth of the Psychidae family. It is found from England through central Europe, east to Russia, north to Fennoscandia, the Baltic States and Karelia. The southern limit of its range ranges from northern Italy to Romania. There is strong sexual dimorphism in the adults. Males have a wingspan of 16–20 mm, females reach a length of 6–8 mm and are wingless. Adults are on wing from June to July in one generation. The larvae feed on various plants, including ''Bromus erectus'', ''Carex brizoides'', ''Ulmus'', ''Alnus'', ''Betula'', ''Quercus'', ''Prunus spinosa'', ''Hippophae rhamnoides'' and ''Vaccinium uliginosum''.

Sterrhopterix Standfussi
''Sterrhopterix standfussi'' is a moth of the Psychidae family. It was described by Wocke in 1851. It is found in northern and central Europe. The wingspan is 27–29 mm. Adults are on wing in June. The larvae feed on a wide range of plants, including '' Betula'' species (''Betula verrucosa'', ''Betula pubescens'', '' Betula nana''), '' Alnus incana'', '' Salix caprea'', ''Salix pentandra'', ''Salix aurita'', ''Salix cinerea'', ''Salix phylicifolia'', '' Populus tremula'', ''Philadelphus coronarius'', '' Rubus idaeus'', ''Filipendula ulmaria'', ''Sorbus aucuparia'', ''Vaccinium uliginosum'' and ''Ledum palustre ''Rhododendron tomentosum'' (syn.

Psychidae
The Psychidae (bagworm moths, also simply bagworms or bagmoths) are a family of the Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths). The bagworm family is fairly small, with about 1,350 species described. Bagworm species are found globally, with some, such as the snailcase bagworm (''Apterona helicoidella''), in modern times settling continents where they are not native. Another common name for the Psychidae is "case moths", but this is just as well used for the case-bearers (Coleophoridae). The names refer to the habits of caterpillars of these two families, which build small protective cases in which they can hide. The bagworms belong to the superfamily Tineoidea, which is a basal lineage of the Ditrysia (as is Gelechioidea, which includes case-bearers). This means that the bagworms and case-bearers are only as closely related to each other as either is to butterflies (Rhopalocera). Most bagworms are inoffensive to humans and inconspicuous; some are occasional nuisance pests. However ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moths
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.
