[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 ...
Most Lepidoptera larvae will either make a cocoon and pupate inside them or will pupate in a cell under the ground, [21] with the exception of butterflies and advanced moths such as noctuids, whose pupae are exposed. [13] The pupae of moths are usually brown and smooth whereas butterfly pupae are often colourful and their shape varies greatly. [21]
Studies using this pheromone against the raisin moth showed that it greatly confused the male raisin moths and led to a reduction in larvae production. [ 4 ] [ 2 ] There is also some indication that blue neon light attracts raisin moths, which could potentially be used to deter the moth from laying eggs on fruit during mating season and lead to ...
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]
Lonomia obliqua is a species of saturniid moth ("giant silk moth") from South America. [1] It is famous for its larval form, rather than the adult moth, primarily because of the caterpillar's defense mechanism, urticating bristles that inject a potentially deadly venom.
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 ...

The thorax contains small black spots as well as bristles on each segment, and the larvae typically feeds on its host plant for up to two weeks before ...
