Team Jacobaea (CINNABAR MOTH)

16 Jul 2023

Description

It's just about time for National Moth Week!   In this episode we talk about Producer Derek's favorite moth: the cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae). Finally, a rival for Isabella Tigermoth. And this moth isn't alone in her fight against the noxious Stinking Willie; her fellow biocontrol agents include the tansy ragwort flea beetle (Longitarsus jacobaeae) and the ragwort seed head fly (Botanophila seneciella). This moth and her team are basically Superman, but for cows. Tangents include Animorphs, Spider-verse, being a goth kid, and John Wick.   Check out NationalMothWeek.org to learn more about how you can participate in this citizen science initiative.   Field notes and artwork on our website: https://www.bugsneedheroes.com/episodes/team-jacobaea Send us questions and suggestions!
