Hydrocarbon Sex Pheromone in Tiger Moths (Arctiidae)

Science, 1971
2-Methylheptadecane is a sex pheromone compound in many sibling species of the Holomelina aurantiaca complex, in Holomelina laeta , and in Pyrrharctia isabella , which are all arctiids. Habitat preference, temporal distribution, and differing diurnal cycles help effect

Freeze fitness in alpine Tiger moth caterpillars and their parasitoids

Oecologia, 2011
The adaptive fitness of a freeze-tolerant insect may be mediated by both endogenous and exogenous interactions. The aim of the study presented here was to characterize the freeze tolerance of alpine Tiger moth caterpillars (Metacrias huttoni) and highlight two poorly explored indices of the potential attrition of fitness: (1) downstream development and

The neuroethology of sound production in tiger moths (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae)

Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 1992
The night sky is the venue for an ancient arms race. Insectivorous bats with their ultrasonic sonar exert an enormous selective pressure on nocturnal insects. In response insects have evolved the ability to hear bat cries, to evade their hunting maneuvers, and some, the tiger moths (Arctiidae), to utter an ultrasonic reply. We here determine what it is

Cardenolide sequestration by the dogbane tiger moth (Cycnia tenera; Arctiidae)

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1983
Cycnia tenera adults, reared as larvae onAsclepias humistrata, had 10 times higher cardenolide concentrations, and contained 15 times more total cardenolide, than did moths reared onA. tuberosa. Thin-layer chromatography confirmed that each individual cardenolide visualized in the adult moths reared on the former host plant corresponds to one present ...

Evolution in the Scarlet Tiger Moth in Northern Italy

Systematic Zoology, 1962
THE RANGE of the scarlet tiger moth, Panaxia (=Callimorpha) dominula (L.) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae), covers most of Europe south of the Baltic, with an extension to the Black Sea border of Turkey. The typical form is found from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Greece, and the Balkans in the east, to Britain and Spain in the west.

Mating Behavior in the Alpine Tiger Moth, Metacrias huttoni

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2010
The alpine Tiger moth, Metacrias huttoni, of South Island, New Zealand, has adapted to female microptery through unusual courting behavior and behavioral plasticity with regard to copulation position. Courting revolves around male manipulation (‘fluffing’) of the female’s highly derived covering of flocculent setae.
