This species resembles other adult moths in the genus such as ''P. apicalis'' (generally smaller with narrower wings) and ''P. subdolosa'' (distinguishable by a bronze "collar" behind the head). The larva is brown and has clumps of short hair. Life cycle Adults are on wing from August and early September (in Queensland and South Australia) to January (in Tasmania).. Female moths camouflage their eggs using hairs from their abdominal tufts. The la ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pollanisus Nielseni
''Pollanisus nielseni'' is a moth of the family Zygaenidae. It inhabits the Australian state of Western Australia, mostly coastal areas, and has brilliantly shiny forewings. The diurnal adults are most active on sunny days. Eggs are laid on the plant ''Hibbertia spicata'', and females touch each egg after oviposition with a tuft of hair on their abdomen, which attaches protective spines. The larvae are brightly coloured and feed on ''H. spicata'' before pupation. Taxonomy The holotype was collected 5 km east of Wedge Island in Western Australia by Gerhard M. Tarmann in 1995, and the species was formally described by him in 2005, in the work ''Zygaenid Moths of Australia: A Revision of the Australian Zygaenidae, (Procridinae: Artonini)''. Previously, ''P. nielseni'' had been considered a variant of the slightly larger moth '' Pollanisus cupreus''. The two species share habitat and possess similarities, but, among other visual differences, ''P. nielseni'' is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
