چکیده
The Bag-shelter moth Ochrogaster lunifer (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae: Thaumetopoeinae) is an endemic species of medical and veterinary importance that occurs throughout Australia. gregarious variable with four phylogenetic clades recently identified. One clade comprises trunk-nesters restricted to one host: the Moreton Bay Ash, Corymbia tessellaris (Myrtaceae). Here, we describe aspects biology ecology this distinctive nesting form dupped ‘tree-hugger’ due its flattish, thick silk nests hug trunk larger branches. univoltine; egg masses are laid in spring larvae develop through seven instars until mature stop feeding autumn later leave nest (in a procession). over-winter ground as pre-pupae loose cocoon silk. Pupation late winter adults emerge spring. Forty-six per cent monitored succeeded developing lifecycle. Tachinids were common parasites older larvae. Tree-hugger provided some insulation against summer heat during mornings, but physical characteristics tree trunks average southern orientation likely protect extreme heat. tree-hugger O. appears morphologically similar more ubiquitous ground-nesting form, there differences colour adults, behaviour adults. This information adds body evidence supporting definition separate within what currently known lunifer.
