The moth, Chetone angulosa (Erebidae: Pericopina) ((used to be Arctiidae)), has a common defensive mechanism for this group – they . . . → Preberite več: Moth Perfume

Če ste se pomaknite navzdol malo si lahko ogledate angleški prevod. Na prvi pogled izgleda kot standardni taksonomije papirja z gole kosti opisov vrst.
