[13] The pupae of moths are usually brown and smooth whereas butterfly pupae are often colourful and their shape varies greatly. [21]
The larva liquefies and releases millions of virus particles to spread and infect other moth larvae. [11] Even if it does not reach the top of the tree, the infected larva will migrate to the exposed parts of the plant. [1]: 97 Infected larvae are also paler due to the body being filled with viral occlusions.
The larvae of G. mellonella are also often used as a model organism in research. The greater wax moth is well known for its parasitization of honeybees and their hives. [1] [2] Because of the economic loss caused by this species, several control methods including heat treatment and chemical fumigants such as carbon dioxide have been used. [3]
Pantry moth larvae are most often found in infested food, James Agardy, technical and training manager at Viking Pest Control, says, but they will also crawl around cabinets and on surfaces when ...

It is a species of moth in the family Tortricidae. Related species include Archips fervidana. Archips rileyana is very similar to A. cerasivorana, both in appearance and larval habits. At first, A. rileyana was considered a subspecies of A. cerasivorana, but Obraztsov (1959) demonstrated that both adults and larvae of the two species can be ...

[3] [4] The species can be found near sewer drains, sewage treatment plants, plant pots, swamps and any other shaded place containing decaying, moist organic matter. [5] The species is a common pest around household drains, but the larvae have an important role in sewage treatment. [5] Male C. albipunctata. A moth-like dense coat of small hairs ...
