It was first discovered in Hawaii in 2001 and, as of 2010, it has been reported from three Hawaiian Islands and intercepted as larvae and pupae in cargo en route to California. Larvae are highly polyphagous feeders, with at least 45 recorded hosts plants, and can cause extensive defoliation. The nettle caterpillar seems to prefer those plants in the palm (Arecaceae) and grasses (Poaceae) families but has been recorded feeding on many different weedy and ornamental plants in nurseries and at residences. In addition to plant damage, these larvae can Fig.

  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

Catalog: Oregon State Arthropod Collection 3(2) (beta version). http://dx.doi.org/10.5399/osu/cat_osac.3.2.4593 Introduction These records were generated using funds from the LepNet project (Seltmann et. al., 2017) - a national effort to create digital records for North American Lepidoptera. The dataset published herein contains the label data for all North American specimens of Zygaenidae, Limacodidae, Dalceridae and Megalopygidae residing at the Oregon State Arthropod Collection as of March 2019. A beta version of these data records will be made available on the OSAC server (http://osac.oregonstate.edu/IPT) at the time of this publication. The beta version will be replaced in the near future with an official release (version 1.0), which will be archived as a supplemental file to this paper. Methods Basic digitization protocols and metadata standards can be found in (Shepard et al. 2018). Identifications were confirmed prior to determination by Jon Shepard and Paul Hammond using the online Digital Guide to Moth Identification website (Moth Photographers Group, 2019).
