Description
Family Arctiidae
'The Arctiidae are members
of the Superfamily
Noctuoidea. Worldwide in distribution, moths of this family
are richest in the tropics. The small to medium-sized adults
are often white, yellow, orange, or red with black markings on the forewings
. Some adults are day-fliers, while others are nocturnal
. Larvae are typically very hairy
; some tiger
moth larvae are called "woolly
bears." Larvae feed on lichens as well as herbaceous and woody plants
, and some species are forest
pests. Pupation takes place in cocoons
made of matted
larval hair and little or no silk
.
