Picture of the day

The Pindi moth (Abantiades latipennis) is endemic to Australia, where the larvae primarily feed on the roots of Eucalyptus trees. Female moths "lay" their eggs by scattering up to 10,000 of them during flight. Larvae then hatch in the leaf litter on the forest floor and begin tunnelling in search of suitable host roots.Photo: Noodle snacks

Hello, I am a student at Washington University in St. Louis interested in writing and learning about moths and butterflies. Thank you for the informative article. A possible comment I have is that the Life cycle and behavior section of the article could actually be split into 3 different sections, each with more researched and rich information: Life cycle, Key behaviors, and Mating. In addition, the Life cycle section of the article should include images that allow easy visualization of the stages of development from caterpillar to moth. Additionally, I believe that a mating strategy or mating section should be added. The mating behaviors of Abantiades latipennis are discussed within the Life cycle and behavior subsection, but only a few sentences are devoted to discussing this topic. As mating and reproduction are an important aspect of the behavioral ecology of the moth, I would create a separate subsection for this and research it more thoroughly, perhaps providing images to illustrate here as well. Thanks again for this article--it piqued my curiosity! S.srivatsa (talk) 02:55, 14 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
