A strikingly green caterpillar about as long as my little finger was attached to a sprig of oak leaves in our yard. Knowing the caterpillar with spikes on its back was the larvae of an Io silkworm ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Researchers who studied silkworms, the larvae of the moth Bombyx mori, have found that higher levels of an enzyme known as NAD+ give them longer ...

Researchers from Shinshu University and Chiba University develop a novel bio-hybrid drone using odor-sensing antennae from silkworm moths. Incorporation of an electroantennography (EAG) sensor to ...

As with butterflies, moths have a high season late in summer, and those of you out and about at night might see any number of the beauties around your lights and in other night-lit areas. You also ...

Ohio’s moth fauna is incredibly diverse. At least 2,000 species have been documented, and scores of others await discovery. I once heard an expert on “micro-moths” say that if we could find all of ...

Particle guidance by the flapping of flightless silkworm moths was quantified by computational fluid dynamic analyses. (a) The flapping silkworm moths were filmed by two high-speed cameras (1,000 fps) ...
