\u00a0 This moth is an unusually interesting one. It is a first for Invertebrate Alert, and was identified for us by Libby Avis.\u00a0 Originally from Europe, it has long been found in North America.\u00a0 Descriptions of its caterpillar on the Web vary slightly (I would think that not a huge number of people have seen, let alone reared, one), but it is supposed to occur in caves and sheds, and feed upon straw, chaff and animal dung.\u00a0 Some sites say animal fat, and at least one says fat of cadavers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
