Herpetogramma phaeopteralis, commonly known as the dark sod webworm, is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. It was described by Achille Guenée in 1854. [1]
Fall webworms experience behavioral thermoregulation. [2] [16] The fall webworms' self-created web (which is where the fall webworms live) is able to trap heat. [2] [16] Due to this, the fall webworm (which is an ectotherm) is able to maintain a warm temperature of about 40-50 °C, which allows the larvae to grow and develop faster.
Chrysoteuchia topiarius, the topiary grass-veneer moth, subterranean sod webworm or cranberry girdler, is a moth of the family Crambidae. The species was first described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1866.
