Eupatorium capillifolium, or dogfennel, is a North American perennial herbaceous plant in the family Asteraceae, native to the eastern and south-central United States. It is generally between 50 cm and 2 meters tall with several stems that fork from a substantial base. The stems and base are covered in leaves so dissected that they resemble branching green threads coming out of the stem in fractal patterns. When crushed, the leaves have a sour odor similar to dill pickles. The flowers have a subtle floral odor.

Amata huebneri, commonly known as the wasp moth, is a species of moth in the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Jean Baptiste Boisduval in 1829. It is found from the Indo Australian tropics to northern Australia.
Pyrrolizidine alkaloid sequestration by insects is a strategy to facilitate defense and mating. Various species of insects have been known to use molecular compounds from plants for their own defense and even as their pheromones or precursors to their pheromones. A few Lepidoptera have been found to sequester chemicals from plants which they retain throughout their life and some members of Erebidae are examples of this phenomenon. Starting in the mid-twentieth century researchers investigated various members of Arctiidae, and how these insects sequester pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) during their life stages, and use these chemicals as adults for pheromones or pheromone precursors. PAs are also used by members of the Arctiidae for defense against predators throughout the life of the insect.
Harrison Gray Dyar Jr. was an American entomologist. Dyar's Law, a pattern of geometric progression in the growth of insect parts, is named after him. He was also noted for eccentric pursuits which included digging tunnels under his home. He had a complicated personal life and along with his second wife he adopted the Baháʼí Faith.
Gabriola dyari, or Dyar's looper, is a moth of the family Geometridae first described by Taylor in 1904. It is found from the Alaskan panhandle and British Columbia to California. The habitat consists of coniferous forests.
Cosmosoma auge is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Carl Linnaeus in 1767. It is found in Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Suriname, Brazil and Uruguay, as well as on St. Thomas, Jamaica, Cuba and Puerto Rico.
Cosmosoma fenestrata is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Dru Drury in 1773. It is found on Jamaica and Cuba.
Cosmosoma festivum, the festivum wasp moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1854. It is found in Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica and Honduras. It has also been recorded in southern Florida and southern Texas.
Cosmosoma metallescens is a moth of the subfamily Arctiinae. It was described by Édouard Ménétries in 1857. It is found from Mexico to the Amazon region.
Dinia eagrus, the scarlet-tipped wasp mimic moth, is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Pieter Cramer in 1779.
The Euchromiina are a subtribe of tiger moths in the family Erebidae. It was described by Arthur Gardiner Butler in 1876. Many species in the subtribe are mimics of wasps. Euchromiina have always been considered closely related to the subtribe Ctenuchina due to their similarity to moths and wasps. These two subtribes make up around 3,000 valid species, the majority of which occur in the Neotropics.
