ENT 532 (2024): Attevidae

This moth, Atteva aurea (Attevidae) was seen resting on a leaf at night at the Penn State Ag Progress Days. Its vibrant orange body, adorned with striking white spots and bordered by black bands, stood out starkly against the green leaf, yet its stillness and positioning suggested an attempt to avoid detection. The coloration, resembling a mosaic of jewels, likely serves as both camouflage among similarly colored tree parts and a warning to potential predators. The moth’s distinct appearance and deliberate movements led to hypotheses about its survival strategies: Does the vibrant pattern mimic another toxic species, or is it directly associated with chemical defenses from its host plant?
