Ascerno and Robert P. Wawrzynski Copyright © 2002 Regents of the University of Minnesota. All rights reserved. Arrival of Gypsy Moth in Minnesota After its introduction from Europe to Massachusetts in 1869, the gypsy moth spread throughout hardwood stands in the northeastern United States. It first appeared in the lake states in the mid-1950s when moths were collected in Michigan and Wisconsin. In Minnesota, the first verified collection occurred in 1969 when several egg masses and pupal cases were found in Duluth. The first male moth was captured in 1976 in Hennepin County, and, in 1980, 26 male moths were collected in the Twin Cities area. These moths entered the state on infested nursery stock and as hitchhikers on belongin Read More Go to Site Wapello County Extension Votes:0 Skip Navigation | Wapello County Extension About Us Staff News Events Contact Us Home Business and Industry Community Economic Development Crops Environment Farm Management Finances Food, Nutrition and Health Home and Family Kids and Teens/4-H Livestock Yard and Garden Conferences Disaster Recovery Hotlines Off-campus courses Safety Spanish/Espanol Weather Iowa State University ISU Extension Welcome to Wapello County Extension Wapello County Extension, in partnership with Iowa State University, provides education and information to help the people of Wapello County become the best they can be.

The adult moths are around ?" long, and behave different from other moths you are used to seeing. Preferring the dark, you won't see them flying around sources of light - or even flying for that matter. They are poor flyers, so they usually choose to use their legs. Animal-based fabrics such as silks and wools are their favorite, but you can also find them on blended or soiled fabrics. The adults aren't destructive feeders, and merely a nuisance.

Size: Both species are about 3/8-inch long. Color: Webbing clothes moths are cream colored with a tuft of red hair on the top of the head. The larvae are white and will be found on fabrics among thin sheets of webbing that they spin to shield themselves. They often leave strands of silk on fabrics they infest. Case-making clothes moths are also cream colored, but have three dark spots located on each front wing. The larvae spin silk cases around themselves for protection.

This provides camouflage for it. Found in the North American deserts, the yucca moth is the only insect that can pollinate the yucca flowers. As it is pollinating the flower, the yucca moth also lays some eggs inside the ovary of the flower, which is the place where the seeds develop. The caterpillars feed on some of these seeds, leaving enough to grow into plants.

Gypsy moths prefer oaks (white, chestnut, red), apple, basswood, gray birch, hawthorn, poplar, beech and willow, but may attack hardwoods and conifers as well. Older larvae will feed on conifers. In outbreaks, gypsy moths will feed on almost anything including many ornamentals, vegetables and even houseplants.

I've never seen the leopard moth feeding, but am not sure whether or not it does; it's hard to tell since most moths are active at night anyway.

The female moths lay their eggs in the pile of sloth dung pellets. The moth larvae hatch and feed on material (e.g. undigested plant remains, etc.) in the dung or nearby plants. When they become adult moths, they fly up into the canopy and find a sloth in whose hair they live and hide. There are 3 species of sloth moth, found only on three-toed and two-toed sloths. They are about one-third inch long with flattened bodies, and can move easily through the sloth's dense hair. The moths are preyed upon (both as larvae and as adults) by a wide variety of insect-eating animals such as predatory ants, antbirds, etc. The adult moths Read More Go to Site Sphinx Moths (DesertUSA) Votes:0 DesertUSA Quick Links Home Animals Deserts Geology Maps Message Board Places to Go People & Cultures Photography Plants & Wildflowers Recipes-Southwest Search DesertUSA Shop Things to Do Travel Reservations Videos What's New Community DesertUSA Blog Forums Desert Talk Readers' Stories Readers' Photos Tools & Downloads Search DesertUSA Free Wallpaper Free E-Cards Podcasts Reservations General Info.

Two species of clothes moths may infest woolens and other animal fibers. Casemaking clothes moth and the webbing clothes moth. The name of the casemaking clothes moth comes from silken tube, or case spun by the larva and carried about wherever the larva goes. The 1/2-inch long case incorporates bits of fabric and is the same color as the fabric. Caterpillars of both species are 1/2 inch long and white with brownish-black heads.
