A different size (300 x 225) will be used for some species that normally pose with the wings fully spread.
Photos are preferred of moths oriented head upward rather than at an angle.
There is no guarantee that a photo, once in the archive, will be retained permanently.

Host specificity testing of the defoliating moth Macaria was completed and permission to release was obtained allowing for the shipment of colonies to Darwin.
However, assessment of leaf-tying moth species ceased after field trials in Mexico did not enable us to predict their host ranges to an acceptable degree.
Furthermore, at sites where Carmenta is common the seed-feeder, Acanthoscelides puniceus, previously considered a failure, is now destroying up to 20% of the remaining seed.

 Parthenium Abstracts
The stem-galling moth Epiblema strenuana, the stem-boring weevil Listronotus setosipennis, and the leaf-mining moth Bucculatrix parthenica are the species that are successfully established in most of the parthenium infested areas of Queensland, while the leaf-feeding beetle Zygograrama bicolorata and the seed-feeding weevil, Smicronyx lutulentus appear to be established only in the central Queensland region.
The new initiative program on the biological control of parthenium is currently mapping the distribution of various biocontrol agents in Queensland, and assessing the role of already established biocontrol agents in controlling the weed populations.
Unfortunately, the erratic climate interferes with the control: long dry periods reduce the moth population to very low levels so that when the parthenium germinates after rain there is inadequate control.

Initial attempts to achieve biological contro l o f chromolaena in Africa failed, after the leaf-feeding moth P a reuchaetes pseudoinsulata and a seed-feeding weevil released in Nigeria and Ghana in the early 1970s failed to establish.
The programme was revived by Ghana in 1989, and a decade later P. pseudoinsulata was well-established in the country’s infested areas.
The adult moth lives for about a week, duringwhich time it does not feed but mates and lays eggs, the female depositing groups of up to 80 eggs on the underside of chromolaena leaves.
