| | CSIRO Entomology - ANIC Lepidoptera |
| | Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies) is one of the five megadiverse insect orders, and with the day flying butterflies includes the probably best-loved insects. | | | Lepidoptera are characterised by wings covered with minute overlapping scales, responsible for the often colourful wing pattern and providing vital insulation against heat loss, making moths the dominant night active insect group. | | | Numerically, the Australian Lepidoptera are dominated by the 5500 species of Oecophorinae, predominantly feeding on live and dead myrtaceous foliage and of great importance to nutrient recycling. |

| | Lepidoptera include many serious pests of crops and forests in North America because of the feeding habits of the caterpillars. | | | In addition to the colors that are visible to humans, some Lepidoptera have an ultraviolet color that is visible to the insect but not to humans. | | | Lepidoptera occur almost anywhere that plants grow, although not all eat plants. |

| | The name Lepidoptera comes from the Greek 'Lepidos' a scale and 'Pteron' a wing, they are called this because their wings are covered in small scales (these are modified hairs). | | | The job of these histoblasts is to supervise the building of a new body out of the soup that the insects digestive juices have made of the old larval body. | | | It is attacked by the same sort of juices the caterpillar used in its earlier life to digest its food, it would not be far wrong to say the caterpillar digests itself from the inside out, this process is called ‘histolysis'. |

| | The insect order, Lepidoptera, contains more than 225,000 species of butterflies and moths and is estimated to be second in size and importance only to the beetles among all the orders of plants and animals in the world. | | | For example, it is estimated that more than 90% of all leaf damage in tropical forests is accomplished by moth and butterfly caterpillars, creating a constant turnover of nutrients essential to the health of the ecosystem as their excrement falls to the topsoil beneath the trees. | | | The adults of Lepidoptera serve as important pollinators to many kinds of plants, while their earlier stage, caterpillars, are extremely important ecologically. |

| | Placement of this species to Lepidoptera was a result of evident mistake, because its complex arthroidignathan mouth apparatus was taken for a simple lepidopteran haustellum ("lingua inflexa"), and its wax cover on wings was taken for lepidopteran scales. | | | In the publication regarded to be original (Linnaeus 1758), to the order Lepidoptera, besides other species, was attributed a species Phalaena Tinea proletella, which now is places not to Lepidoptera, but to Scytinelytra (or Aleyrodes/fg1) in Arthroidignatha. | | | Hence, the name Lepidoptera should be regarded as corresponding in circumscription to this taxon, excluding proletella [Ph. |

| | As with those performers, Burke often tends to prefer arrangements that feature their instruments one or two at a time, with tracks like "Russian Snow Queen" carried along solely upon the steady current of a single pump organ and her swirling, wraith-like vocal loops. | | | The visionary 12th century theologian, scientist, and composer Hildegard von Bingen once referred to herself and her creations as "a feather on the breath of God." Perhaps it could be said that there are hints of this same celestial guidance at work in the ethereal music of West Philly's Tara Burke, aka Fursaxa. | | | Throughout the album, Burke's lyrics (such as they may be) remain stubbornly inscrutable, but on tracks like the opening convocation of "Freedom" her cascading, self-replicating harmonies render her actual words superfluous. |
