Amerila is one of the most studied Afrotropical genera of Arctiinae. However, based on a regionally constrained sample of specimens from Mount Cameroon, we show how superficial our knowledge on these tiger moths is. Among six collected Amerila species, A. femina’s female is described here for the first time, and A. mulleri and A.

The diversity of flower‐visiting arthropods in four Danish apple orchards was assessed using molecular (metabarcoding) and non‐molecular techniques. The aim was to obtain a broader overview of arhtropod communities present to support future management practices towards more sustainable agricultural systems.
