	Dear Kitty. Some blog :: New UK moth discovered at Wicken Fen :: January :: 2007
		Moth expert Jeff Higgott discovered the small plume moth, known as Emmelina argoteles, with its tiny 18mm wingspan in 2005 and proved it to be breeding on the nature reserve in 2006.
		This newly discovered moth is a member of the âplumeâ moth family and is usually found in mainland Europe.
		Plume moths have wings consisting of five or more parts each and the moths put the parts over one another, so creating a very small wing.

	New moth variety disarms plants guarded by selenium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The new moth variety in fact thrives on plants containing highly toxic selenium levels and, in contrast to related varieties, was not deterred from either laying eggs or feeding on the plant.
		Chemical analysis showed that the selenium-tolerant moth and its parasite both accumulate selenium in the form of methylselenocysteine, the same form found in the hyperaccumulator plant, whereas related but selenium-sensitive moths accumulate selenium as selenocysteine.
		Furthermore, the newly discovered selenium-tolerant moth may be used for biological control of plants that hyperaccumulate selenium in areas where such plants cause poisoning of livestock.

		This mating disruption technique applied to 250 acres under artichokes was integrated with the insecticidal control of plume moth using various conventional insecticides applied at 3-wk interval from June through November (8 sprays).
		This strategy was compared for its effectiveness in suppressing plume moth infestation of shoots and buds with conventional insecticidal control using various insecticides applied at 3-wk interval from June through March (12 sprays).
		The integrated approach is expected to reduce the use of conventional pesticides applied against the artichoke plume moth by 25-30 percent in the first year.

	Plume moth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pterophoridae or plume-moths are a family of Lepidoptera with unusually modified wings.
		The fore-wings consist of (usually) two curved spars with more or less bedraggled bristles trailing behind (compare the greater number of symmetrical plumes of the Alucitidae).
		Economically important pterophorids include the artichoke plume moth (Platyptilia carduidactyla), a pest in California, while the Geranium plume moth Platyptilia pica and the Snapdragon plume moth Stenoptilodes antirrhina can cause damage to their respective host garden plants.

	Horehound suppression with the horehound plume moth
		Large numbers of plume moths may limit the spread and density of horehound infestations and enable the establishment or reintroduction of more desirable plant species.
		The plume moth is released in the pupal stage at nursery sites where numbers are allowed to build up for later distribution to new sites.
		The clearwing moth has a root boring larva which reduces the flow of water and nutrients through the plant, reduces growth and increases plant mortality.

	BirdForum - Wicklow VC H20 (Ireland) moth lists
		Light traps attract not only moths, but also terrestrial and aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera, Ephemeroptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera etc. The main problem with the larger beetles is that they wander around inside the trap trampling over the moths and causing considerable damage to the specimens.
		Some carniverous Coleoptera and Hymenoptera may have the occasional moth as a snack when in the trap, but it is more likely that most moths are lost to predation by birds, wasps (inc. Hornets where they occur) where a trap is left out overnight.
		Moths coming to rest outside trap is not a big problem with the actinic trap.

	Horehound suppression with the horehound clearwing moth
		Extensive testing of two of these agents, the horehound plume moth, Pterophorus spilodactylus, and the horehound clearwing moth, has demonstrated that they feed only on horehound and do not attack species of commercial value or native plants.
		Once the clearwing moth has become established it may limit the spread and density of horehound infestations and enable the establishment or reintroduction of more desirable plant species.
		The clearwing moth is released onto suitable field infestations of horehound in the egg stage.
