Moth images on the web - English
URL: http://www.furman.edu/~snyder/leplist/

Over 10,500 identified species of moths in North America (north of Mexico). Surprisingly, there exist only a few somewhat readily available books that provide photographs of some of the adult forms and none that show more than a few larval forms of these insects. Each of those books provides a glimpse of less than 15% of the known species.

Stinging Caterpillars - English
URL: http://www.uky.edu/Agriculture/Entomology/entfacts/misc/ef003.htm

Caterpillar stages of moths often have spines and barbed hooks. Generally, these are for show and are quite harmless. But there are a few Stinging caterpillars of various shapes, sizes and colors. Stinging caterpillars possess hollow quill-like hairs, connected to poison sacs, that are used as defensive weapons. When these hairs are touched they break through the skin releasing the poison. Reactions can range from a mild itching to the more severe pain, dermatitis, and even intestinal disturbances.

PEET Grant - English
URL: http://www.mip.berkeley.edu/essig/peetsite.htm

Tortricid moths are among the most significant pests of forest trees and fruit orchards worldwide. More than 6,600 species have been named and there are at least as many left to be described, particularly in tropical regions. Many of the pest species are part of complexes that continue to challenge modern taxonomists, yet few people have the expertise or experience that is required to unravel the diversity and complexity of tortricid moths. The objectives of this project are to train students in morphological, ecological and molecular investigations of tortricid taxonomy, and to produce electronic databases and keys for the identification of these moths. Catalogues and classifications will be developed for three tribes of tortricines in the New World. The project will also contribute to the development infrastructure for organizing and accessing knowledge about an economically important family of moths.
