  • Mechanical and Structural Investigations of Wings of Selected Insect Species
    Acta of Bioengineering and Biomechanics Original paper Vol. 22, No. 2, 2020 DOI: 10.37190/ABB-01525-2019-03 Mechanical and structural investigations of wings of selected insect species MICHAŁ LANDOWSKI1, ZUZANNA KUNICKA-KOWALSKA2, KRZYSZTOF SIBILSKI3* 1 Gdańsk University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Materials Engineering and Bonding; Gdańsk, Poland. 2 Warsaw University of Technology, Doctoral School No. 4, Warsaw, Poland. 3 Warsaw University of Technology, Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering, Division of Mechanics, Warsaw, Poland. This paper presents research and measurements leading to obtaining the Young’s modulus of wing bearing structures of selected in- sect species. A small testing machine intended for three-point bending and equipped with instruments registering low forces was con- structed for the needs of the experiment. The machine was used to perform numerous bending tests of wings of three species of insects (obtained from a breeding farm): Attacus atlas, Vespa crabro, Libellula Depressa at various air-humidity conditions. Values of the force and displacement obtained in the course of the tests were used to calculate Young’s modulus. In order to do so, it was also necessary to obtain the moment of inertia of the wing cross-section. These values were measured on the basis of the images obtained with a SEM microscope. Obtained results were averaged and presented with a breakdown by air-humidity conditions. It was observed that Young’s modulus decreased with an increase of humidity, hence the calculations of the percentage decrease of this mechanical parameter were performed. Obtained results were compared with the observed structure which was also presented under light microscope.

University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China Abstract Since the work of Moore (1880-1887) and Hampson (1892-1896) nomenclature of Sri Lankan moth fauna has remained largely unchanged. Four valid species of family Saturniidae, Actias selene taprobanis, Attacus taprobanis, Antheraea cingalesa and Cricula ceylonicaare recorded. Former three species were confirmed by recent field records. Actias selene taprobanis and Attacus taprobanis are confined to Sri Lanka and wet biomes of southern India. Antheraea cingalesa and Cricula ceylonica are endemic to the island. Presence of other Saturniidae mentioned in literature requires further confirmation with field records.

Email: [email protected]/[email protected] Received: 25 March 2018, Revised and Accepted: 28 August 2018 ABSTRACT Objectives: Silk is biocompatible as biomaterial and has been used commercially as sutures. More interesting properties of the silk are that the mechanical properties exceed all natural polymer and synthetic materials. In this research, a type of silk suture is being developed from species of Attacus atlas to obtain better biocompatible sutures. A. atlas is a species of silk moth that consume not only single types of leaves. The Quality of cocoon fiber then can be arranged base on the types of the leaves that is consumed. Better biocompatibility sutures comparing with recent commercial silk sutures which is not biocompatible, can be achieved by feeding with variety types of leaves. Silk suture that already established in the market is a base product of Bombyx mori species of silk which is only consume one type of leaf (mulberry leaves). Methods: In this research, the A. atlas cocoon was produced by feeding with herb Erythrina variegate.

Warananagar, Kolhapur 416 004 *Corresponding Author. ABSTRACT Attacus atlas, Linnaeus (Lepidoptera : Saturniidae) is wild silk worm, which produce durable, brownish and wooly like silk. The silk worms feed on Angeer Ficus carica Linnaeus, Castor Recinus comnunis, Mango Mangifera indica Linnaeus and Custard apple Annona squamosa Linnaeus. The biology of A. atlas was studied on E. carica at laboratory conditions (27±1oC, 75-80% R.H. and 12 hr photoperiod). A. atlas completed its life cycle from egg to adult within 62 days. Incubation, larval and pupal periods were 10 days, 26.5 days and 28 days respectively. Morphological features and general appearance of immature stages of A. atacus have been reported. Moth emergence from cocoon took place early in the morning. Mated female laid 134 to 160 eggs. The pupa was brownish colored and 4.4 cm long and 1.5 cm broad. INTRODUCTION The oval dorsoventrally compressed eggs were with hard India is the only country in the world which produces 4 chitinised shell, composed of hexagonal cells. Egg was to 5 kinds of commercial silks namely, mulberry silk from about 3.04 mm in length and 2.5 mm in breadth, weighing Bombyx mori L., Tasar silk from Antheraea mylitta Drury, about 0.012 g.

(Lepidoptera: Saturniidae): A New Record on Ailanthus excelsa Roxb. From Assam, India S.A. Ahmed Central Muga Eri Research and Training Institute, Central Silk Board, Lahdoigarh, Jorhat-785700, Assam, India Abstract: The natural incidence of the saturniid wild silk moth, Attacus atlas L. recorded feeding on “Tree of Heaven”, Ailanthus excelsa Roxb. plantations at Jorhat, Assam, India. The incidence of the wild silk moth recorded throughout the year with peak incidence during May-October. The average cocoon weight was 14.11g and 10.29g for male and female, respectively. The average shell weight of single cocoon recorded 2.04g and 1.84g for female and male, respectively which is five times more than shell weight of domesticated eri silkworm, Samia ricini. The scope and prospects for commercial exploitation of this wild moth has been highlighted in this study. Key words: Attacus atlas % Ailanthus excelsa % Host range % Distribution INTRODUCTION India [6-8]. In India this species was also reported from Western Ghat, Deradhun, Konkan region, Assam, Sikkim, Attacus atlas L.

  • Distribution and Hostplant Records for Eupackardia Calleta from Southeastern Texas with Notes on Mandibular Morphology of Attacini (Saturniidae)
    JOURNAL OF LEPIDOPTERISTS' SOCIETY Volume 53 2000 Number 4 Journal of the Lepidopterists Society 53(4), 1999, 133-137 DISTRIBUTION AND HOSTPLANT RECORDS FOR EUPACKARDIA CALLETA FROM SOUTHEASTERN TEXAS WITH NOTES ON MANDIBULAR MORPHOLOGY OF ATTACINI (SATURNIIDAE) VALERIE A. PASSOA 10603 Brettridge Drive, Powell, Ohio 43065, USA AND STEVEN PASSOA 1 USDAIAPHISIPPQ, The Ohio State University, Museum of Biological Diversity, 1315 Kinnear Road, Columbus, Ohio 43212, USA ABSTRACT. Eupackardia calleta (Westwood) is recorded on privet (Ligustrum) from Kingwood, Texas, This new county record represents a northeastern range extension of 100 miles and confirms privet as a hostplant under natural conditions, The role of the mandible in digestion of the hostplant is discussed, The last instar larval mandible of most Attacini either lacks teeth or has the cutting edge bluntly serrated with reduced teeth, In contrast, the distinctive mandible of E. calleta contains three large teeth and deep molar ridges, an autapomorphy for the genus, Well· developed mandibu­ lar teeth are present on the last instar of a few unrelated Saturniinae and Ceratocampinae; therefore this character is homoplastic in Saturni· idae, A structurally complex mandible of the "sphingid-type" occurs in several saturniids such as Antheraea pemyi (Cuer,· Men.) (Saturniidae), This mandible type is illustrated, There are two ontogenetic patterns of mandibular development in Saturniidae. In one case, teeth are present in the first instar, then lost in later molts, The mandibular development of E, calleta represents an alternative scenario where teeth are present throughout the larval stage, Additional key words: Ligustrum, ontogenetic development, Sphingidae, Notodontidae. Eupackardia calleta (Westwood) is a member of the morphology to other Attacini, with emphaSiS on re­ Attacini, usually considered the sister group to Roth­ lated nearctic taxa.
