Moth-Plant Associations

Several ecological phenomena occur in nature where moths and plants are closely linked, leading to interesting behaviours demonstrated by adult moths and early stages alike. To name a few: pollination, host plant preferences, sequestration of toxic compounds etc.

More elaborate and informative material on such processes will be shared here in the coming days... stay tuned for updates!
