We measured wingtip speed, as an indicator of angular velocity, during the single downstroke that lifts butterflies and moths from the ground to flight. High‐speed analysis captured 745 takeoff events across 131 lepidopteran species. Wingtip speed showed no correlation with forewing length, a proxy for the Reynolds number and wingtip speed. In contrast,

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review
Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.

Future Habitat Shifts and Economic Implications for Ophiocordyceps sinensis Under Climate Change
Ophiocordyceps sinensis, a key traditional medicine from the Tibetan Plateau, is losing habitat due to overharvesting and climate change. This study shows that China, producing 91.9% of the global supply, will see suitable habitats shift to higher altitudes.

By applying Multi‐Species Change Indices to over 1.8 million citizen scientist observations from 1980 to 2022, we assessed the distributional changes of macro‐moths in Flanders (northern Belgium)—a highly anthropogenic region in Northwest Europe—by linking temporal trends to 10 key ecological and life history traits.
