picture info	Moth Moths are a group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not Butterfly, butterflies. They were previously classified as suborder Heterocera, but the group is Paraphyly, paraphyletic with respect to butterflies (suborder Rhopalocera) and neither subordinate taxon is used in modern classifications. Moths make up the vast majority of the order. There are approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, although there are also crepuscular and Diurnal animal, diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the Butterfly, butterflies form a monophyly, 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 a ...

	Dalceridae The Dalceridae are a small family of zygaenoid moths with some 80 known species encompassing about one dozen genera mostly found in the Neotropical region with a few reaching the far south of the Nearctic region. These are generally small or medium-sized moths with very hairy bodies. The larvae are rather slug-like and, along with the larvae of the sister taxa Limacodidae and Megalopygidae, are often known as slug caterpillars. More specifically, they are also called jewel caterpillars due to the colorful bead-like gelatinous mass covering the exoskeleton of many species. Female Dalceridae have "accessory glands" that apply a rapidly drying liquid to the eggs.Scott E. Miller, Unique Secondary “Accessory Glands” in the Female Genitalia of Dalceridae (Lepidoptera), ''Annals of the Entomological Society of America'', Volume 86, Issue 2, 1 March 1993, Pages 179–181 doi:10.1093/aesa/86.2.179 The function of the liquid is unknown but it is theorized that it may provide streng ...

	Ca Anastigma ''Ca anastigma'' is a moth in the family Dalceridae. It was described by Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. in 1914. It is known from the tropical moist forest zone of Panama. The forewing Insect wings are adult outgrowths of the insect exoskeleton that enable insects to fly. They are found on the second and third thoracic segments (the mesothorax and metathorax), and the two pairs are often referred to as the forewings and hindwi ... length is in male.
