Arctiidae

(Family)

Overview

[ Back to top ]

Arctiidae is a large and diverse family of 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 sounds. 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].

Aposematism

[ Back to top ]

Many species retain distasteful or poisonous chemicals acquired from their host plants[4]. 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[4]. 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[4]. 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[5]. The ultrasound signals help nocturnal predators to learn to avoid the moths[6][7], and can interfere with bats' ability to precisely locate flying moths (Ratcliffe and Fullard, 2005).

Life Cycle

[ Back to top ]

Many of the caterpillars and adults are active during the daytime. If disturbed, woolly bear caterpillars will roll into a tight spiral. Common folklore has it that the forthcoming severity of a winter can be predicted by the amount of black on the Isabella tiger moth's caterpillar, the most familiar woolly bear in North America; however the relative width of the black band varies among instars, not according to weather[8]. Isabella tiger moths (Pyrrharctia isabella) overwinter in the caterpillar stage. They can survive freezing at moderate subzero temperatures by producing a cryo-protectant 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.

Lore

[ Back to top ]

As mentioned above, local lore of the American Northeast holds that that "Woolly bears" have the ability to predict the weather, similar to that of the Groundhog. The lore goes: "More brown than black means a fair winter, but more black than brown means there is going to be a harsh winter". While there is no truth to this theory (the offspring of a single female can range from almost completely brown to almost completely black), they possess mythical qualities in the American Northeast, leading to such things as the Woollybear Fes tival.

Antitype

Typology in and Biblical exegesis is a doctrine or theory concerning the relationship between the Old and New Testaments. Events in the Old Testament or Hebrew bible are seen as pre-figuring events or aspects of Christ in the New Testament, and, in the fullest version of the theory, that is seen as the purpose behind the Old Testament events occurring. The theory began in the Early Church, was at its most influential in the High Middle Ages, and continued to be popular, especially in Calvinism, after the Protestant Reformation, but in subsequent periods has been given less emphasis.

Calyptra

(Gr. kalyptra: cover) A layer of cells that covers the developing sporophyte of mosses, liverworts, clubmosses, horsetails, and ferns. In mosses it forms a hood over the capsule and in liverworts it forms a sheath at the base of the capsule stalk. In mosses, a cap-like structure covering or partly covering the capsule and derived from the neck of the archegonium; a membranous covering of haploid tissue over the developing sporophyte, derived largely from the archegonial venter; the venter generally ruptures near the base (see epigonium), is carried upward by elongation of the seta, and frequently expands to form a protective covering over the capsule. In liverworts the structure is strictly an epigonium that generally ruptures near the apex and remains at the base of the seta, see vaginula. In a flower, a cap covering the stamens and carpels in the bud and formed by fusion or cohesion of perianth parts.[9] [more]

Catocala

Catocala is a genus of noctuid moths commonly known as Underwings. (A few closely related genera are sometimes called Underwings as well, but usually the term is synonymous with this genus.) Most species have brightly colored underwings, orange, red, or white. The genus name is a combination of two Greek words, kato behind, and kalos beautiful. The bright hindwings are not visible at rest, being hidden by the dull forewings, but they help the moth avoid predators such as if they are disturbed during the day (Stevens 2005). The genus occurs in Eurasia and North America. Due to their variety of colors and species diversity, Underwings are popular with collectors of lepidoptera. Larvae (caterpillars) of most species feed on the foliage of trees and shrubs. [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]

Hypercompe

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]

A Genus in the Kingdom Animalia.[29] [more]

Tetracme

Herbs annual, canescent. Trichomes stalked, stellate or dendritic, rarely mixed with fewer, simple or forked, subsetose ones. Stems often several branched basally. Basal leaves petiolate, not rosulate, simple, entire, sinuate-dentate, or pinnatipartite. Cauline leaves similar to basal. Racemes ebracteate, corymbose, elongated in fruit. Fruiting pedicels slender or thickened and nearly as wide as fruit base, erect or ascending. Sepals ovate, ascending, base of lateral pair not saccate, margin membranous. Petals white, subequaling or much longer than sepals; blade obovate, spatulate, or oblanceolate, apex obtuse; claw distinct or undifferentiated from blade. Stamens 6, slightly tetradynamous; filaments dilated at base; anthers ovate, apiculate at apex. Nectar glands 4, lateral, 1 on each side of lateral filament; median glands absent. Ovules 2-14 per ovary. Fruit dehiscent siliques or indehiscent silicles, linear, oblong, or ovoid, strongly latiseptate, terete, or 4-angled, sessile; valves obscurely veined, tomentose, smooth or torulose, subapically 4-horned; replum flattened; septum complete, membranous; style absent, obsolete, or distinct; stigma capitate, entire. Seeds uniseriate, wingless, oblong, plump; seed coat smooth, not mucilaginous when wetted; cotyledons incumbent.[30] [more]
