Panacela Lewinae
''Panacela lewinae'', or Lewin's bag shelter moth, is a moth of the family Eupterotidae. The species was first described by John Lewin in 1805. It is found in Australia from southern Queensland to southern New South Wales. The wingspan is about 30 mm. The caterpillars live communally in a shelter on their food plant, made of leaves joined by silk. They spend the day in this shelter and come out to feed at night. They feed on ''Eucalyptus'', ''Lophostemon'', ''Angophora'' and ''Syncarpia'' (including ''Syncarpia glomulifera'') species, as well as '' Chamaecytisus prolifer'', ''Pinus radiata'' and ''Exocarpus cupressiformis''. The hairs of the caterpillars can cause skin irritation (urticaria Hives, also known as urticaria, is a kind of skin rash with red or flesh-colored, raised, itchy bumps. Hives may burn or sting. The patches of rash may appear on different body parts, with variable duration from minutes to days, and typically ...). External linksSpecies info* ...

Bombycoidea Genera
Bombycoidea is a superfamily of moths, including the silk moths, giant silk moths, sphinx moths, saturniids, and relatives. The superfamily Lasiocampoidea is a close relative and was historically sometimes merged in this group. After many years of debate and shifting taxonomies, the most recent classifications treat the superfamily as containing 10 constituent families. Characteristics Bombycoid larvae often exhibit horns.''Firefly Encyclopedia of Insects and Spiders'', edited by Christopher O'Toole, , 2002 In the adult stage they are typically large, and include the largest moths in the world. Families Bombycoidea includes the following families: * Anthelidae * Apatelodidae * Bombycidae * Brahmaeidae (syn. Lemoniidae) * Carthaeidae * Endromidae (syn. Mirinidae) * Eupterotidae * Phiditiidae * Saturniidae * Sphingidae The Sphingidae are a family of moths commonly called sphinx moths, also colloquially known as hawk moths, with many of their caterpillars known ...
