The garden tiger moth or great tiger moth [2] (Arctia caja) is a moth of the family Erebidae. Arctia caja is a northern species found in the US, Canada, and Europe. [3] [4] The moth prefers cold climates with temperate seasonality, as the larvae overwinter, [3] and preferentially chooses host plants that produce pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
Basic moth identification features. 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 ...
[6]: 12 The moths remain in copula for up to an hour, but the transfer of the spermatophore is usually accomplished within 10 minutes. [ 6 ] : 12 A male moth can inseminate more than one female. [ 6 ] : 12 Multiple mating in females is possible but uncommon, as the female stops releasing the attracting pheromone after mating.

Indian-meal moths are developing a resistance to many kinds of biological agents, such as the granulosis virus. Use of pest control agents can cause resistance to these agents to be selected for in populations of Indian-meal moths. In populations exposed to the granulosis virus, it was found that the moths were 96 times more resistant to the virus.
In the United States, many species of birds prey on the winged adults, including English house sparrow and blue jay. [1] A review of mortality causes in England and mainland Europe described the brown-tail moth as undergoing periodic population outbreaks, each developing rapidly and lasting for several years, followed by a decline to relative ...
