おもしろい事実

Baby Flame Shoulder Moths love to eat common weeds like dock and plantain plants.

Its caterpillars are often called cutworms because they chew through plant stems at ground level!

Like all moths, it starts as a tiny egg, then a munching caterpillar, and a sleepy pupa before becoming an adult!

Some Flame Shoulder Moths can have two or even three generations of babies in just one year!
