moth - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about moth The overall shape and wing arrangement of the hawk moth fits the general concept of the moth as distinct from the butterfly. Moths feed chiefly on nectar and other fluid matter; some, like the hawk moths, frequent flowers and feed while hovering. The largest British moths are the death's head and convolvulus hawk moths, which have a wingspread ranging from 114 mm/4.5 in to 133 mm/5.25 in. encyclopedia.farlex.com /moth   (787 words)

Bean, Moth -- Vigna aconitifolia (Jacq.) Marechal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) One kind of bean seldom grown in Florida gardens is the moth bean, also known by other common names such as mat bean, matki bean, mout bean, or dew gram. Moth beans are most popular as a crop in India, but have been tried for cattle forage in Texas and California. Moth bean is a hot weather, drought resistant legume. edis.ifas.ufl.edu /BODY_MV021   (535 words)

Introduction Bean seeds were planted between corn seeds so that, as the corn grew, the beans could climb the stalks for support. By eating foods rich in vitamin C with a meal of beans, the body's ability to use the iron in beans is enhanced by converting the ferric acid form in beans into the ferrous form which is more easily absorbed. Raw beans contain antinutrient chemicals that inhibit those enzymes that make it possible for the body to digest proteins and starches, factors that also inactivate vitamin A. Therefore, all kinds of beans should be cooked for a minimum of ten minutes, although much longer is better. www.innvista.com /HEALTH/foods/vegetables/beans.htm   (1176 words)

The Insectlorepedia – insectlore.com Mexican Jumping Beans are found in the Rio Mayo region of Mexico, in the states of Sonora and Chihuahua, where a particular shrub of the Spurge family, known as Sebastiana Pavoniana grows. Where the beans fall is liable to be hot and sunny, and they might be fried in the sun, trodden on, or eaten by an animal eager for a tasty meat-filled bean snack. Beans which have stopped jumping because they have been left cold and dark may wait many months until the critical day arrives to catch the exact timing of the rains, and synchronise their emergence with the flowering of Sebastiana Pavoniana. www.insectlore.com /xlorepedia_stuff/jumpingbeanmoth.html   (788 words)

Nebraska Dry Bean Commission Western bean cutworm moths were collected, allowed to lay eggs on cages corn plants, and eggs were collected from these cages. Plots were established that included areas of dry beans and corn within a single caged plot during the period when western bean cutworm adults were active and laying eggs. At mid oviposition, there was a switch in preference from corn and beans, and this switch resulted in a greater level of variability in the egg sampling that appeared to be related to variances in plant maturity between the various caged plots. www.nebraskadrybean.com /research2a.htm   (1122 words)

Howstuffworks "How do Mexican jumping beans work?" Are they able to jump the length of a room, trip adversaries..." Unfortunately, no. Mexican jumping beans are about the size of a kernel of corn or a small bean. The moth lays its eggs in the flower of the plant, and the eggs are incorporated into the seeds. Eventually, the larvae turn into moths that emerge from the beans to repeat the cycle. science.howstuffworks.com /question265.htm   (244 words)

Jumping Beans The jumping bean shrubs grow on rocky desert slopes and along arroyos in the region of the Rio Mayo in the states of Sonora and Chihuahua. Some of the jumping bean moth's destructive relatives are the codling moth (a serious pest of apples), the oriental fruit moth (a serious pest of peaches), the fl-headed fireworm (a serious pest of cranberries), the grape berry moth, the pea moth, the cypress cone moth, and the strawberry leaf roller. umping bean shrubs typically bloom during the spring and summer months, and this is when the female moth lays her eggs on the green, immature capsules (ovaries) of female flowers. waynesword.palomar.edu /plaug97.htm   (2844 words)

RIRDC: The New Rural Industries - A Hanbook for Farmers and Investors-moth bean   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) Moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) comes from the semi-arid regions of the state of Rajasthan in north-western India where it is claimed to be the most drought-tolerant legume grown in the country. The drought tolerance of this bean may be due to the well developed tap root and/or the manner in which the plant produces a thick, low-lying mat, covering the soil surface and apparently reducing moisture loss. Moth bean is currently grown in the north-western desert regions of India and Pakistan in those areas where mung beans may suffer from drought. www.rirdc.gov.au /pub/handbook/mothbean.html   (878 words)

Nature's Jumping Beans In the 'bean' is the larva of a moth, Scyrotis athleta (family Cecidosidae). The movement and jumping is a response to heat and facilitates repositioning of the 'bean' into ideal pupating conditions in the soil and leaf-litter. These are different from the originator of the term, the Mexican jumping bean, that is in fact a seed of a shrub (genus Sebastiana) in which the larva of a moth, Carpocapsa saltitans (family Tortricidae), develops into a cocoon. www.museums.org.za /bio/insects/jumpingbeans.htm   (378 words)

You say moth, I say moat / Little Indian beans are worth seeking out I found that by freezing small batches of the tiny beans, I could defrost a few tablespoon-sized portions and sprinkle them around my fish, or whatever, atop a vinaigrette or sauce, the way Gramercy Tavern had done, or toss them into a pilaf at the last minute, a la Union Square Cafe. I found that the moth beans had a lovely distinctive flavor, though not a million miles from brown/green lentils, and so could be used in dishes in which lentil flavor is desired, with the caveat that unlike lentils, which eventually fall apart, the moth beans keep their shape. Check to see that the grains and beans are not too dry toward the end of the cooking, and add a few tablespoons of water if they seem that way. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2004/05/12/FDG6G6H4CJ1.DTL&type=printable   (1354 words)

Asia Food Glossary Page Black mung beans are not to be confused with urad or urid dhal (Vigna mungo or Phaseolus mungo) because while the skins of both are fl, the inside of urad is very white. Mung beans are easily digested, containing very few oligosaccharides which cause flatulence, and therefore are suitable for children or those with delicate digestive systems. Mung beans are available either as the whole bean (mung saboot), split with skins left on (chilke mung dhal) or split and skins removed (mung dhal). www.asiafood.org /glossary_1.cfm?alpha=M&wordid=2731&startno=27&endno=51   (484 words)

Berkeley Parents Network: Advice about Moths Cedar wood is supposed to be a natural moth repellent (one of the reasons that hope chests etc. are often made out of cedar) and unlike moth balls it smells nice. A couple of Tonka beans in a white cotton bag (like the muslin teabags they sell various places, also very cheap) can, if fairly fresh, permeate the entire sweater box with their nice aroma, and keep moths away from your clothes. This is to discourage new moths from invading. parents.berkeley.edu /advice/health/moths.html   (3764 words)

Vagts Crop Update Vol 3 No 16 Western bean cutworm moth catch in area traps continues to be very low as we near the point of predicted 25% moth emergence. At least one moth has been caught in most west-central Iowa counties (see the moth catch data). Degree-day accumulation for predicted 25% moth emergence has been reached in western IA.
