The most well-known representative for you...

For me, the moth comes first. Not only do we often see, but we often taste it.

And if I've ever eaten her worms, I've never seen them. And imago also took a picture for the first time only this year.

flour, platyanaya, yablonnaya, pyatipalaya.. Sorry there is no such answer

I often came across Pyralis farinalis

We are commenting on another fire note! And the moth, let me guess, is Longnose? I realized too late about her.

I'm sorry, but the survey parameters don't seem entirely correct to me. What does "the most famous representative" mean? After all, the survey is conducted not among ordinary people, but among people who, to put it mildly, are well acquainted with the topic. All the listed butterflies are probably equally well known to specialists (that is, they know that there are such butterflies). Another question is how often people encounter these insects in everyday life, and how recognizable these butterflies are for people. According to these criteria, I voted for platyanaya moth, although the apple moth, in my opinion, will not be inferior to it at all.

I voted for another ognevka, meaning Pleuroptya ruralis.

I agree. You can change the wording of the question to "most popular category".

What's the difference?

For the Ripper, all micros are those who don't have wings from beetles !!!! Shchutka, don't be offended, Andrey!

"I guess I'm off track again.".. - but I want to tell you that in my childhood I "saved" fruit moth caterpillars from apples intended for consumption, transplanting them to an apple tree.
"And the dress moth infuriated me because it wasn't big enough to consider..."
- Again not in the subject: - last year I photographed just a furry moth in the color "Beeline"!!! (Yessentuki, Podkumok River valley, to the light).Maybe someone knows something like this? "I don't know how to post pictures yet."..

I don't know how to post photos yet."..

In general, the question is not entirely clear to me... If, the butterfly that I meet most often is a dress moth. But in nature, from all the above-mentioned for some reason finger-wing...

Micropterix-as the most original version of the oral device. Yes, and I recognize it in nature... By the way, Yponomeuta is also relevant. Especially evonymella - as the whole bird cherry will spoil with cobwebs and eat leaves-you will not confuse...

maybe he meant the following - what is the first thing that comes to mind when you use the word Microlepidoptera?

In the profile of our current work, we often encounter Plodia interpunctella. This year, it caused a breeding outbreak at several HPP enterprises, whose management often comes to us about identification and treatments. I also bred it at home on dry cookies and expired sweets. Imago and caterpillars are happy to eat aquarium fish, I kept a tree mantis last year, he also did not refuse-he lasted on them almost until the end of November.

Poor guy!
It's like feeding a tiger with mice!

And tigers sometimes also do not disdain locusts.
In fact, of course, the mantis was not only fed with fireflies. He also got a lot of other things, such as locusts wintering in the imaginal phase, scoops of all sorts. So you don't need to call Greenpease
