Cedestis Subfasciella
''Cedestis subfasciella'' is a moth of the family Yponomeutidae. It is found in almost all of Europe, except part of the Balkan Peninsula. The wingspan is 9–11 mm. The forewings are brown slightly reddish-tinged, towards base and apex whitish-sprinkled; a somewhat curved white fascia before middle, preceded by a darker fascia ; indistinct whitish tornal and opposite costal spots; 5 and 10 absent. Hindwings are grey. The larva is pale brown, greener dorsally ; head and plate of 2 black Adults are on wing from March or April to September or October. The larvae feed on ''Abies alba'', ''Pinus mugo'', ''Pinus nigra'' and ''Pinus sylvestris''. They mine the needles of their host plant. The mine starts at the tip and descends, full depth, towards the base of the needle. The mine is completely filled with granular frass Frass refers loosely to the more or less solid excreta of insects, and to certain other related matter.

Species
In biology, a species is the basic unit of Taxonomy (biology), classification and a taxonomic rank of an organism, as well as a unit of biodiversity. A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which any two individuals of the appropriate sexes or mating types can reproduction, produce Fertility, fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction. Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology (biology), morphology, behaviour or ecological niche. In addition, paleontologists use the concept of the chronospecies since fossil reproduction cannot be examined. The most recent rigorous estimate for the total number of species of eukaryotes is between 8 and 8.7 million. However, only about 14% of these had been described by 2011. All species (except viruses) are given a binomial nomenclature, two-part name, a "binomial". The first part of a binomial is the genus to which the species belongs. The second part is called the specifi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Moth
Moths are a paraphyletic group of insects that includes all members of the order Lepidoptera that are not butterflies, with moths making up the vast majority of the order. There are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which have yet to be described. Most species of moth are nocturnal, but there are also crepuscular and diurnal species. Differences between butterflies and moths While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, comprising the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.Scoble, MJ 1995. The Lepidoptera: Form, function and diversity. Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press; 404 p. Although the rules for distinguishing moths from butterflies are not well est ...

Yponomeutidae
: ''Certain members of the unrelated snout moths (Pyralidae) are also known as "ermine moths." Spilosoma lubricipeda is an unrelated moth with the common name "white ermine."'' The family Yponomeutidae are known as the ermine moths, with several hundred species, most of them in the tropics. The larvae tend to form communal webs, and some are minor pests in agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. Some of the adults are very attractive. Adult moths are minor pollinators. There are five or six subfamilies. Some authors also include the closely related Plutellidae as yet another subfamily: Subfamilies * Saridoscelinae * Yponomeutinae The following genera do not have assigned subfamilies available: * ''Abacistis'' * ''Acrataula'' * ''Aemylurgis'' * '' Aictis'' * ''Amalthina'' * ''Anaphantis'' * ''Argyresthites'' * '' Artenacia'' * '' Balanoptica'' * '' Betharga'' * '' Buxeta'' * '' Calamotis'' * '' Callithrinca'' * '' Caminophantis'' * '' Chionaemopsis'' * '' Citrinarchis'' * '' ...
