Moths behaving like butterflies. Evolutionary loss of long range attractant pheromones in castniid moths: a Paysandisia archon model. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: In the course of evolution butterflies and moths developed two different reproductive behaviors. Whereas butterflies rely on visual stimuli for mate location, moths use the 'female calling plus male seduction' system, in which females release

Edible Lepidoptera in Mexico: Geographic distribution, ethnicity, economic and nutritional importance for rural people [PDF]
Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine, 2011 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,

Sexual communication in castniid moths: Males mark their territories and appear to bear all chemical burden. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Castniid moths (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) display a butterfly-like reproductive behavior, i.e., they use visual stimuli for mate location and females have apparently lost their pheromone glands in an evolutionary context.
