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 .
