Arctiidae

(Family)

Overview

[ Back to top ]

Arctiidae is a large and diverse family of moths with around 11,000 species found all over the world, including 6,000 neotropical species.1] This family includes the groups commonly known as tiger moths (or tigers), which usually have bright colors, footmen (which are usually much drabber), lichen moths and wasp moths. Many species have 'hairy' caterpillars which are popularly known as woolly bears or woolly worms. The scientific name refers to this (Gk. a??t?? = a bear). Caterpillars may also go by the name 'tussock moths' (more usually this refers to Lymantriidae, however).

Diagnosis

[ Back to top ]

The most distinctive feature of the family is a tymbal organ on the metathorax.[1] This organ has membranes which are vibrated to produce ultrasonic so unds. They also have thoracic tympanal organs for hearing, a trait which has a fairly broad distribution in the Lepidoptera, but the location and structure is distinctive to the family. Other distinctive traits are particular setae ('hairs') on the larvae, wing venation, and a pair of glands near the ovipositor.[1] The sounds are used in mating [2] and for defense against predators.[3] Another good distinguishing character of the family is presence of anal glands in females [4]

Aposematism

[ Back to top ]
See also: Pyrrolizidine alkaloid sequestration

Many species retain dista steful or poisonous chemicals acquired from their host plants.[5] Some species also have the ability to make their own defenses (Nishida, 2002). Common defenses include: cardiac glycosides (or cardenolides), pyrrolizidine alkaloids, pyrazines and histamines.[5] Larvae usually acquire these chemicals, and may retain them in the adult stage. But adults can acquire them too, by regurgitating on decomposing plants containing the compounds, and sucking up the fluid.[5] Adults can transfer the defenses to their eggs, and males sometimes transfer them to females to help with defense of the eggs. Larval 'hairs' may be stinging, due to histamines the caterpillar makes, in some species but not all.

The insects advertise these defenses with aposematic bright coloration, unusual postures, odours, or, in adults, ultrasonic vibrations. Some mimic moths that are poisonous, or wasps that sting.[6] The ultrasound signals help nocturnal predators to learn to avoid the moths,[7][8] and can interfere with bats' ability to precisely locate flying moths (Ratcliffe and Fullard, 2005).

Behavior and life cycle

[ Back to top ]
Banded woolly bear, Pyrrharctia isabella

Many of the caterpillars and adults are active during the daytime. If disturbed, woolly bear caterpillars will roll into a tight spiral. Isabella tiger moths (Pyrrharctia isabella) overwinter in the caterpillar stage. They can survive freezing at moderate subzero temperatures by producing a cryoprotectant chemical.[9] The larvae of another species, Phragmatobia fuliginosa, may be found on snow seeking a place to pupate.

Although abundant, few species in this family are of economic importance. Even the fall webworm, an abundant and highly polyphagous tree-feeding species that has spread from North America to Asia and Europe, does not do lasting damage to healthy hosts.

Folklore

[ Back to top ]
Caterpillar on Asteraceae plant

Local folklore of the American Northeast holds that "woolly bears" have the ability to predict the weather, similar to that of the groundhog. The forthcoming severity of a win ter may be indicated by the amount of black on the Isabella tiger moth's caterpillar, the most familiar woolly bear in North America; more brown than black is said to mean a mild winter, but more black than brown is supposed to mean a harsh winter.[10] However, the relative width of the black band varies among instars, not according to weather.[11] The mythical qualities attributed to woolly bears in the American Northeast have led to such things as the Woollybear Festival.

The gods so named were Zeus, Athena, Artemis, and Hermes.

Amalodeta is a genus of moths in the Arctiidae family. [more]

Amastus

Amastus is a genus of arctiine tussock moths (tribe Phaegopterini of the family Arctiidae). Its delimitation versus Hemihyalea has long been problematic. It was recently pointed out that the type species of Hemihyalea (the old ) is actually closely enough related to that of Amastus (P. collaris) to warrant inclusion in the present genus. That made it necessary to re-establish the genus Pseudohemihyalea for the more distantly related group of species around "H." schausi. There is no consensus yet on whether to include the remaining Hemihyalea in Amastus or not. [more]

Amata

Amata (also called Palanto), in Roman mythology, was the wife of King Latinus of the Latins. She and Latinus had a daughter, Lavinia, and no sons. When the hero Aeneas sued for Lavinia's hand in marriage, Amata opposed him because she had already promised Lavinia to Aeneas' nemesis Turnus. At the same time she was instigated by Alecto, who acted according to the request of Juno. Hiding her daughter in the woods and arousing the womenfolk of the Latins, she managed to stir up the war between the Latins (now allied with Turnus) and Aeneas' Trojans (allied with the Etruscans and King Evander's people). This story fills the greater part of the seventh book of Virgil's Aeneid. When Amata was informed that Turnus had fallen in battle, she hanged herself. [more]

Amaxia

Amaxia is a genus of moth in the family Arctiidae. [more]

Amerila

Amerila is a genus of moth in the family Arctiidae. A number of species in this genus have a special defence mechanism when they are in their adult stage. When disturbed, they exude a frothy yellow fluid from glands beside the eyes, while making a sizzling noise to ward off their attacker. Similar behaviour has been observed in fertilised females of the North-American moth Utetheisa ornatrix. [more]

Area is a quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape in the plane. Area can be understood as the amount of material with a given thickness that would be necessary to fashion a model of the shape, or the amount of paint necessary to cover the surface with a single coat. It is the two-dimensional analog of the length of a curve (a one-dimensional concept) or the volume of a solid (a three-dimensional concept). [more]

Areva

AREVA (Euronext: CEI) is a French public multinational industrial conglomerate headquartered in the Tour Areva in Courbevoie, Paris. AREVA is mainly known for nuclear power; it also has interests in other energy projects. It was created on 3 September 2001, by the merger of Framatome (now AREVA NP), Cogema (now AREVA NC) and Technicatome (now AREVA TA). Its main shareholder is the French public-sector company, the CEA, which owns 78.9%. The CEA's brief is similar to that of the US Department of Energy. But the German company Siemens also retains 34% of the shares of AREVA's subsidiary, AREVA NP, in charge of building the EPR, an advanced Generation III+ PWR nuclear reactor. [more]

The Asura were opposed to the Devas. Both groups are children of Kasyapa. However, in early Vedic religion, both the Asura and the Devas were deities who constantly competed with each other, some bearing both designations at the same time. Asura is cognate with Ahura. The Oxford English Dictionary recognizes the use of the term in reference to Zoroastrianism where Ahura would perhaps be more appropriate. [more]

Ecpantheria

Hypercompe is a of moths of the family Arctiidae. There are over 80 species found throughout the Americas. Several species were formerly separated in Ecpantheria which is now regarded as a junior synonym. They are typically large moths with white forewings heavily spotted with black, and brightly-colored abdomens which are exposed when the moth is threatened. This is a form of aposematism; they produce copious amounts of foul-smelling defensive chemicals, which they ooze from special points of weakness on the thorax, to discourage would-be predators without having to be eaten.[citation needed] [more]

The Greeks thought that Boreas, the North Wind, lived in Thrace, and that therefore Hyperborea was an unspecified region in the northern lands that lay beyond the north wind. Their land, called Hyperborea or Hyperboria ? "beyond the Boreas" ? was perfect, with the sun shining twenty-four hours a day, which - if true - suggests a possible location within the Arctic Circle.

Malesia is a region straddling the boundary of the Indomalaya and Australasia ecozones.

The floristic province overlaps four distinct mammalian faunal regions. [more]

Paratype

Paratype is a technical term used in the scientific naming of species and other taxa of organisms. The exact meaning of the term paratype when it is used in zoology is not the same as the meaning when it is used in botany. In both cases however, this term is used in conjunction with another term, holotype. [more]
