Amazing Nature: Night Bugs - Tree of Heaven Moth
2 years ago
61
This bright colored "bug" is a moth, Atteva aurea is the Latin scientific name and as a caterpillar it feeds on the Tree of Heaven. Hence it's common name, Ailanthus ( heaven) Webworm Moth. Luckily, noone cares very much because the Tree of Heaven is an invasive species in most of the US. It survives and spreads rapidly. This moth is mostly harmless to humans in spite of it's bright colors. Except that many individuals show allergic reactions when in close contact with the tree or it's pollen in the spring :) Comments Welcome
