The larval food plant of the Apochima diaphanaria ssp. rjabovi (Wehrli, 1936) in Geometridae family has not been known until now. In this study, medicinal plants Ferula haussknechtii H. Wolff ex Rech.f., Prangos uloptera DC. (Apiaceae) and Rheum ribes L. (Polygonaceae) species are identified for first time as rjabovi. addition, Drino imberbis (Wiedemann, 1830) (Diptera, Tachinidae) is recorded ...

In this paper, we reported the butterflies and moths that are consumed in Mexico. We identified 67 species of Lepidoptera that are eaten principally in their larval stage in 17 states of Mexico. These species belong to 16 families: Arctiidae, Bombycidae, Castniidae, Cossidae, Geometridae, Hepialidae, Hesperiidae, Lasiocampidae, Noctuidae, Nymphalidae, Papilionidae, Pieridae, Pyralidae, Saturnii...

Nutrients obtained during the larval period can be sufficient for reproduction, but adult feeding may be necessary to reproductive maturity and ripening of eggs. Adult food requirements of Thyrinteina arnobia (Stoll) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), the main defoliator of eucalyptus in Brazil, may present problems in the laboratory. The fecundity and longevity of T. arnobia adults fed on 15% honey s...

Moths were collected from different parts of Peshawar during June to August in 2007 to determine their diversity, species richness and evenness. A total number of 774 moth specimens were collected by using simple light traps operated from dusk to dawn daily for sixty nights. The moths caught were identified up to family level. Families Noctuidae, Pyralidae, Arctiidae, Geometridae, Sphingidae an...
