Moths Of Asia
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.

Shargacucullia Verbasci
The mullein moth (''Cucullia verbasci'') is a noctuid moth with a Palearctic distribution. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his landmark 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. Description The forewing is broad (for the genus) and brownish ochreous; the costal streak and those preceding and following the lower part of outer line are a deep red brown; the lunules following the line are white and conspicuous; the space below median paler, becoming almost whitish above the outer dark brown streak; the stigmata are marked by dark brown spots; a row of deep brown streaks from apex to vein 6, and another, more faint, from below the apex to the end of cell. The hindwing of the male is whitish, with dark veins and cellspot, becoming diffusely fuscous along the termen; in the female it is darker throughout. The larva is creamy with black and yellow spots. Similar species ''Cucullia verbasci'' is difficult to certainly distinguish from these congeners. *''Shargac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Shargacucullia Scrophulariae
''Shargacucullia scrophulariae'', the water betony, is a moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found throughout Europe, east to Turkey. Technical description and variation ''C. scrophulariae'' Cap. (27 h). Not quite so broad as '' verbasci'', the forewing paler and duller in coloration; the dark brown costal streak overlaid with grey and so paler than those on inner margin; the ground colour below median hardly paler, not strikingly whitish; hindwing much as in verbasci. The wingspan is about 45 mm. Biology The moth flies from May to August depending on the location. The larvae feed on '' Scrophularia umbrosa'', '' Scrophularia nodosa'', '' Scrophularia auriculata'', '' Scrophularia canina'', ''Verbascum lychnitis'' and '' Verbascum thapsus''.

Verbascum Austriacum
''Verbascum'' is a genus of over 450 species of flowering plants, common name mullein (), in the figwort family Scrophulariaceae. They are native to Europe and Asia, with the highest species diversity in the Mediterranean. Mullein or "mullein leaf" often refers to the leaves of ''Verbascum thapsus'', the great or common mullein, which is frequently used in herbal medicine. Description They are biennial or perennial plants, rarely annuals or subshrubs, growing to tall. The plants first form a dense rosette of leaves at ground level, subsequently sending up a tall flowering stem. Biennial plants form the rosette the first year and the stem the following season. The leaves are spirally arranged, often densely hairy, though glabrous (hairless) in some species. The flowers have five symmetrical petals; petal colours in different species include yellow (most common), orange, red-brown, purple, blue, or white. The fruit is a capsule containing numerous minute seeds. Cultivation In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Verbascum Lychnitis
''Verbascum lychnitis'', the white mullein, is a flowering plant in the figwort family ( Scrophulariaceae) native to Asia and Europe. It has naturalized in parts of North America. The species was first formally named by Carl Linnaeus Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the ... in 1753. Despite its common name, the flowers can be white or yellow. It is a biennial or short-lived perennial commonly found in disturbed areas. ''Verbascum lychnitis'' can be distinguished from other species in the genus '' Verbascum'' by the sessile and non-clasping stem leaves with upper and lower surfaces differing in color; small, flowers that are separated (not as tightly bunched together as other mulleins); and the somewhat long flower stalks. As with other Mulleins the leaves are clothed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Buckler W The Larvæ Of The British Butterflies And Moths PlateXCVII
A buckler (French ''bouclier'' 'shield', from Old French ''bocle, boucle'' 'boss') is a small shield, up to 45 cm (up to 18 in) in diameter, gripped in the fist with a central handle behind the boss. While being used in Europe since antiquity, it became more common as a companion weapon in hand-to-hand combat during the Medieval and Renaissance periods. Its size made it poor protection against missile weapons (e.g., arrows) but useful in deflecting the blow of an opponent's weapons, binding his arms, hindering his movements, or punching him. MS I.33, considered the earliest extant armed-combat manual, (around 1300) contains an early description of a system of combat with buckler and sword. Typology According to the typology of Schmidt, there are three main types of buckler regarding their shape: *Type I: round *Type II: rectangular or trapezoid *Type III: oval or teardrop-shaped These types are combined with the cross sections: *Type a: flat *Type b: concave *Typ ...
