Owlet Moths of Hawai'i (Noctuidae) IV

Noctuidae is the largest known family in the Order Lepidoptera. With a world-wide distribution, this family encompasses over 35,000 known species out of a possible 100,000. Given the number of species, it is of no surprise that the family varies in behavior, morphology, etc. However, most Noctuidae are dull in color, fly at night and are attracted to nectar-rich flowers. What they lack in color, they make up for in their amazing ability to feed on specific poisonous plants that would normally kill an insect. Some noctuids are also preyed upon by bats, however, many have high auditory sensitivity, resulting in their ability to quickly respond to bat echolocation calls. In Hawai'i, the hoary bat selects for the endemic Haliophyle euclidias because of the moth's poor auditory abilities. This species experiences high predation as a result of having shorter detection distances for bats, compared to other endemic, potential prey species.

夜蛾科（Noctuidae）是鳞翅目（Lepidoptera）已知的最大类群。该类群全球分布，在潜在的10万余个物种中，已记录的种类超过3.5万种。鉴于其物种数量庞大，该科在行为、形态等诸多特征上存在丰富变异不足为奇。不过绝大多数夜蛾科昆虫体色暗沉，夜间活动，且会被富含花蜜的花朵吸引。尽管在体色上并无优势，它们却演化出了非凡的适应性——能够取食通常会致死其他昆虫的特定有毒植物。部分夜蛾科物种会被蝙蝠捕食，但多数类群拥有极高的听觉灵敏度，可快速响应蝙蝠的回声定位声波。在夏威夷，银毛蝠会优先选择取食特有物种**Haliophyle euclidias**，这是由于该蛾类的听觉能力较弱。相较于其他潜在的特有猎物物种，该蛾类对蝙蝠的探测距离更短，因此面临更高的捕食压力。诚邀您协助转录夏威夷大学（University of Hawaiʻi）收藏的这批极具研究价值的夜蛾科标本馆藏！本次涵盖495项任务的转录工作已全部完成并通过验证。
