Are moths beneficial insects or pests, and are beaked moths beneficial insects

Moths are pests.

The larvae of moths have chewing mouthparts and feed on the leaves of plants, making them important pests of agricultural and forestry crops, fruit trees, tea, vegetables, flowers, etc. Adults are unable to chew food and use long mouthparts similar to straws to suck tree sap, nectar, etc. Some species will also sheath or spin silk nets.

Some burrow into plant tissues to cause damage, eat mesophyll, and burrow stems. Some of them infest buds, flowers, seeds and other tissues, and sometimes can cause galls. Soil-living larvae eat plant roots and become important underground pests.

The type of stored grain, goods or fur that is harmful is an important warehouse pest. A few species are predatory, preying on aphids or scale insects, such as the aphid-eating gray butterfly, which is the natural enemy of the sugarcane cotton aphid.

Moth is a general term for an insect that is close to butterflies, both belong to the order Lepidoptera, when stationary, most of them spread their wings on the sides of their bodies, and their wings have eye-like patterns that can deter enemies, and they are mostly active at night and like to gather in bright places, so there is a folk proverb that "moths fight fires and burn themselves".

Moths rely on the moonlight to determine the direction when flying at night, always make the moonlight from one direction to the eye, in the escape from the enemy's chase or around the obstacle to turn as long as one more turn, the moonlight will still shoot from the original direction, and also find the direction, this is a kind of "astronomical navigation". When the moth sees the light, it mistakenly thinks it is "moonlight", so it also uses this fake "moonlight" to discern the direction. The moon is so far away from the earth that moths can fly in a certain direction as long as they maintain a fixed angle to the moon.

But the light was so close to the moth that the moth instinctively kept itself at a fixed angle to the light source, so it could only circle around the light until it finally died of exhaustion.

Moths are harmful and beneficial and difficult to determine.

No, pests. The beaked moth is a bad one, and although it also collects honey when it grows up, it does not make honey like bees. Although pollen is also collected, it is never pollinated.

Although the moth spoils all kinds of plants in the larval stage, when it grows into an adult, it pollinates and pollinates various flowers, so that the plants can flourish.

The long-beaked moth likes to be active during the day, especially when the sun is shining, it will be extra diligent, constantly changing flowers, the long beak tube is used to suck nectar, the tip of the expanded antennae and colorful, beautiful and dazzling wings, much like a butterfly.

In the process of feeding on nectar, the wings make a distinct and audible buzzing sound, like a bee, but it is several times larger. Because the flight attitude of the hummingbird is similar to that of the hummingbird when feeding, sometimes hovering between the flowers, sometimes galloping in front of the flowers, it often causes misunderstandings. But hummingbirds are unlikely to occur naturally in China, probably only in South America. Yes.

Moths are pests. In addition to the silkworm moth in the common moth is mostly a pest, the moth mostly feeds on natural plants or crops, the larvae of the moth have chewing mouthparts, and the leaves of the plant are food, it is a pest that harms fruit trees, tea, vegetables, flowers and other crops.

Moths are pests. Common moths feed on natural plants or crops, for example, the larvae of moths have chewing mouthparts, feed on the leaves of plants, and some of them invade buds, flowers, seeds and other tissues, and sometimes can also cause galls, which are pests that harm fruit trees, vegetables, flowers and other crops.

Although the moth cannot chew food when it is an adult, it will use a long mouthpart similar to a straw to suck tree sap, nectar, etc., some will sheath or spin silk and form a net, etc., and some will burrow into plant tissues to absorb damage, sneak mesophyll, and burrow stems.

Moth larvae that live in the soil bite plant roots and become important underground pests. Moth species that harm stored food, goods, or fur are important warehouse pests.

Moths are a pest in agriculture, and they are almost always a major pest in agriculture in both larval and adult stages. In agricultural development, it is often necessary to eradicate it.

Common moths are mostly pests except silkworm moths, and most of them live on plants or grains. Among them, the common moth is a pest, the larvae of the moth have chewing mouthparts, and feed on the leaves of plants, which are important pests of agricultural and forestry crops, fruit trees, tea, vegetables, flowers, etc. However, some moths are beneficial insects that can be used to transfer molds to plants.

Harm: 1. The larvae eat plants and are harmful to crops and trees.

2. The larvae of some species (such as stinging moths and poisonous moths) will sting people (of course, they are not active, and basically they are not fatal, but they are itchy or painful).

3. Some species (such as grain borer, powder borer) spoil grain.

Benefits: 1. Some species of adults can pollinate plants.

2. Some species provide food (such as silkworms), clothing fibers (such as silkworms, silkworms), and drugs (such as Cordyceps bat moth) for humans.

3. As a natural feed for poultry and other economic animals.

Obviously, there are both benefits and harms, depending on how you look at it. Of course, pests and beneficial insects are just the definition of humans, and they still live according to their own lifestyle, whether you admire them or despise them.

For the powder on the wings of the moth to pay attention to:

Powder from a moth's wings can blind a person if it falls into a person's eye.

It is harmful to some people with allergies, and it can also cause cramps.
