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.

Fine Structure of Antennal Sensilla of Paysandisia archon and Electrophysiological Responses to Volatile Compounds Associated with Host Palms. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Paysandisia archon (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) is a serious pest of palm trees. A comprehensive knowledge of the insect olfactory system is essential for the development of efficient semiochemical-based control methods.

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 780-794, May 2023., 2023 In this study, we investigated chemicals in leg extracts of three heliothine moth species (Chloridea (Heliothis) virescens, Chloridea (Heliothis) subflexa and Helicoverpa armigera). Identical pheromone compounds were present on the legs in both sexes of all three species, with no striking interspecies or intersex differences.

Adding leaves to the Lepidoptera tree: capturing hundreds of nuclear genes from old museum specimens
Systematic Entomology, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 649-671, July 2021., 2021 A target enrichment kit and workflow to sequence and process hundreds to thousands of loci for recent and old Lepidoptera specimens is presented. Taxa are added to the Lepidoptera phylogeny based on museum specimens collected between 1892 and 2017. Lepidoptera systematic relationships are discussed.
