		The normal reproductive cycle for Thitarodes (Hepialus) takes up to five years; most of the life cycle is lived as a caterpillar, the moth itself living for only a short time, 2-5 days in the case of H.
		The genus Thitarodes was erected in 1968 to accommodate Hepialus armoricanus and other related species placed originally in Hepialus (Nielsen et al., 2000), many of them the host for Cordyceps sinensis.
		About 100 larvae each are placed into shoe carton-sized plastic containers with lids, which are filled with grassland soil containing the tubers and roots of their favorite natural foods collected from the wild, as well as some other roots from cultivation.

		Thousands of families - for whom fungus sales are their main source of income - could badly damage their livelihoods.
		Cordyceps sinensis infects caterpillars of Thitarodes ghost moths, kills them and then fills every cavity of their bodies.
		In spring, the fungus sends out a stalk from its dead host to release spores.

		Cordyceps sinensis is a fungus parasitizing the larvae of a moth of the genus Thitarodes (Hepialus), which lives in alpine grasslands of the Tibetan Plateau.
		Kendrick (1992) reports that Cordyceps fungi have developed a special adaptation to improve their chances of reproductive success.
		Outreach programs and public education campaigns need to be initiated to ensure that fungi are harvested only after sufficient spore dispersal has occurred.

		Once the fungus has replaced the complete interior of the larvae with its hyphae, it will grow its sporocarp-what Tibetans call a blade of "grass"-right out of the caterpillar's fontanel.
		The fruiting body will grow up to 12 cm above the ground in order to have its propagules dispersed by the wind to land on yet another larva of the 30 or so species of ghost moth (Thitarodes, formerly Hepialus) endemic to the Tibetan Plateau.
		The distribution of Cordyceps sinensis is thus completely dependent on the occurrence of the ghost moths.
