Description
Fulgoraecia is a genus of parasitic moths with a fascinating life cycle. The larvae of these moths are known for their intriguing relationship with planthoppers, parasitizing them during development. Contrary to some beliefs, these moths do not harm crops directly; instead, their presence indicates a healthy reduction in planthopper populations, which are often pests themselves. This exemplary instance of natural pest control showcases the intricate connections within ecosystems and highlights the role of Fulgoraecia in maintaining ecological balance.
