  • Caloecia juvenalis

    Caloecia juvenalis is a species of lappet moth in the family Lasiocampidae, described by Barnes and McDunnough in 1911. The genus Caloecia is a small group within the Lasiocampidae, commonly known as lappet moths or tent caterpillar moths. Species in this family are characterized by their stout, furry bodies and larvae that often possess fleshy lappets (projections) along the body sides.

  • Gloveria howardi

    Gloveria howardi is a moth species in the family Lasiocampidae, described by Dyar in 1896. Originally placed in the genus Dendrolimus, it was later transferred to Gloveria. The species is known from very few observations, with only two research-grade records documented in iNaturalist. As a member of the tent caterpillar family Lasiocampidae, adults are presumed to be non-feeding with reduced mouthparts, though this has not been directly confirmed for this species.
