Polychrysia Morigera
''Polychrysia morigera'', the disjunct looper, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was first described by Henry Edwards in 1886. In the east of North America, it is found in the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio river valleys from Pennsylvania to Tennessee. In the Rocky Mountains it is found from Montana to Colorado and on the west coast it occurs from Oregon to northern California. It is the rarest of the North American Plusiinae species. The wingspan The wingspan (or just span) of a bird or an airplane is the distance from one wingtip to the other wingtip. For example, the Boeing 777–200 has a wingspan of , and a wandering albatross (''Diomedea exulans'') caught in 1965 had a wingspan ... is 28–31 mm. Adults are on wing from June to July. The larvae have only been recorded on '' Delphinium trolliifolium''. Covell and Medley (1986) reported adults trapped in the labellum of '' Cypripedium kentuckiense''.

Polychrysia Esmeralda
''Polychrysia esmeralda'', the delphinium leaftier (from Ancient Greek πολύς 'polus''= "many", and χρυσός 'khrusos''= "gold"), is a moth of the family Noctuidae. The species was originally described by Charles Oberthür in 1880. It is found in Asia (eastern Siberia) and in North America (Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba). The larvae feed on monkshood (''Aconitum'' species) and larkspur or delphinium (''Delphinium'' species). Adults are reported to feed on the nectar of fireweed ('' Chamerion'' species). Description Eggs are yellow. The bright green larvae move in a looper-fashion as do most Plusiinae. When the larva is fully grown it ties leaves together with silk, and within spins a gold-colored cocoon. Wings of adults have a shining golden color. Adults look similar to ''Polychrysia moneta ''Polychrysia moneta'', the golden plusia, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in the Palearctic realm (Europe, Asia Minor, Turkey, ...

Polychrysia Moneta
''Polychrysia moneta'', the golden plusia, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in the Palearctic realm (Europe, Asia Minor, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Caucasus, and northwest Iran). Technical description and variation The wingspan is 32–37 mm. Forewing pale golden, diffusely tinged in median area with brown and sprinkled with black scales; the veins brown; the median shade conspicuously dark brown, thick, angled in middle: lines brown, double; the inner acutely angled on subcostal, below middle inwardly curved; outer line lunulate dentate; basal area flaked with golden scales; a pale golden apical blotch, cut and edged below by the brown submarginal line, which is rarely plain below middle; orbicular stigma large, oblique, horseshoe-shaped, with broad silvery outline and gold and brown centre, coalescing with a similar but inverted mark on vein 2; reniform hardly traceable; hindwing shining fuscous;the fringe pale.

Animal
Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms in the Kingdom (biology), biological kingdom Animalia. With few exceptions, animals Heterotroph, consume organic material, Cellular respiration#Aerobic respiration, breathe oxygen, are Motility, able to move, can Sexual reproduction, reproduce sexually, and go through an ontogenetic stage in which their body consists of a hollow sphere of Cell (biology), cells, the blastula, during Embryogenesis, embryonic development. Over 1.5 million Extant taxon, living animal species have been Species description, described—of which around 1 million are Insecta, insects—but it has been estimated there are over 7 million animal species in total. Animals range in length from to . They have Ecology, complex interactions with each other and their environments, forming intricate food webs. The scientific study of animals is known as zoology.

Arthropod
Arthropods (, (gen. ποδός)) are invertebrate animals with an exoskeleton, a Segmentation (biology), segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda. They are distinguished by their jointed limbs and Arthropod cuticle, cuticle made of chitin, often Mineralization (biology), mineralised with calcium carbonate. The arthropod body plan consists of segments, each with a pair of appendages. Arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical and their body possesses an exoskeleton, external skeleton. In order to keep growing, they must go through stages of moulting, a process by which they shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one. Some species have wings. They are an extremely diverse group, with up to 10 million species. The haemocoel, an arthropod's internal cavity, through which its haemolymph – analogue of blood – circulates, accommodates its interior Organ (anatomy), organs; it has an open circulatory system. Like their exteriors, the internal or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Insect
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
