摘要: Processionary moths carry urticating setae, which cause health problems in humans and other warm-blooded animals. The pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa has responded to global change (climate warming increased trade) by extending its distribution range. subfamily Thaumetopoeinae consists of approximately 100 species. An important question is whether species will similarly respond these specific dimensions thus introduce hazards into new areas. We describe, for the first time, how setae are distributed on different life stages (adult, larva) major groups within subfamily. Using available data, we conclude that there little evidence as a group behave like T. expand their distributional caused strongly relate population density, may, or may not, be connected change.
