The main types of pest

The main feature of the moth is that it can easily adapt to the climate of any country, so it can meet anywhere in the world. As well as different types of moles have a different size from small - to large. The main feature of these caterpillars - a preference for the place of residence, for example, clothes moth will not dwell in the cereals and flour, and the food will not eat fabric or wool.

View of the larvae can be identified by the shape of their homes. For example, the mole shubnogo, carpet, wardrobe type manufactured from textile waste unite something in the form of cocoon and climb inside. In this case, they may even move to small segments of the path. Kitchen and furniture mole has a feature to create a so-called passages of its food residues, fabrics and their own excrement.

The main types of moths are as follows:

• Wax. This moth, which carries a lot of damage to beekeepers, crippling bee hives. Larvae of this type consume a sweet honey and bee embryos. Sometimes large moth groups can bring to the unsuitability even heaters for hives, which is a kind of protection for bees from the cold. This mole is used in medicine. When penetrating into the organism larvae, honey and cleaved by the enzyme produces a special substance. This substance acts on the microbes and human bacteria, eliminating them. This was the reason why the mole wax began to be used as a drug against certain types of diseases.
• Fur. Considering the types of moths, can not miss such a kind that destroys valuable fur things. For this larva your entire wardrobe is a great place for growth and life. Here they find plenty of food. The larvae of moths skin coat shortened nap, pulverized and digested it, thus using their sharp jaws. Further, after the larva feels full it starts to move back towards their homes, and on the way back cuts that prevent it while driving, fur strands. As a consequence, on the clothes there are small bands of clipped fur.
• Hanging. These larvae spoil most of the items made of wool. They have a straw color and a rather long wings. Regardless of the natural fabric, Hanging view also destroys and synthetic products. But at the same time feeding the caterpillar becomes slow growth and the development of all organs are longer. For flight adapted only individual male, the females do not fly, but carry a pair of wings. During breeding males find them yourself, after which the females lay eggs without going long distances.
• Furniture. Furniture moth can be called, without attracting the attention of the butterfly wings that have a golden sheen. Within a few weeks the female lays eggs which account for hundreds of pieces. The adult lives for a brief period - a period of 9 days. In step transformation into a larva mol little moves. A lot of it begins to move only after the full development of digestion. These larvae are to a large extent do not like the light and the sun's rays, so if you put the thing on the affected the place where the incident rays, can be seen as the larvae begin hiding in the recesses of tissue or crawl to his home. The increase in air temperature in the area where they are parasitic, will stop their reproduction, as they begin to hide in their cocoons. The female lays her eggs on the site of a large amount of tissue to hatched larvae were able to immediately begin eating.
• Potato. Parasites that can damage your crops and agriculture - a potato moth. It looks quite unpleasant, because it has dirty-colored wings with lots of dark spots. Individuals who have wings and long whiskers, live only a few days. Inconspicuous appearance allows moth camouflage and stay out of sight of even a short distance away from the man. The female breeds and lays eggs on the underside of the sheet, from which larvae soon emerge and begin to grow at an accelerated pace. These tracks can die at a temperature below 5 C, but themselves living in tubers survive. In winter, the mole goes live in barns, which are used in food seed potatoes in the spring along with it fall back on the bed. It is important that in adults there is no jaw at all, for this reason, they do not cause harm to things. Becoming an adult moths with wings, this insect does not eat at all.
