Scythris piratica is a moth of the family Scythrididae. It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1928. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from New Mexico and Texas. [1] [2]
The wingspan is about 12 mm. The forewings are pale grey in males and rosy-grey-whitish in females. The basal and antemedian broad dark grey fasciae and very broad postmedian band occupy most of the wing, and are more or less confluent on the costa. The hindwings are grey, in females with an irregular streak of black scales along the termen throughout. [3]

Scythrididae is a family of small moths in the superfamily Gelechioidea. The family is sometimes included in the Xyloryctidae as a subfamily Scythridinae, but the Xyloryctidae themselves have sometimes been included in the Oecophoridae as subfamily. Scythrididae adults are smallish to mid-sized moths, which when at rest appear teardrop-shaped.
The Legbar is a rare British auto-sexing breed of chicken. It was created in the early twentieth century by Reginald Crundall Punnett and Michael Pease at the Genetical Institute of Cambridge University. They cross-bred American barred Plymouth Rock birds with brown Leghorns and created the gold and silver colour varieties. Pease created a cream Legbar by cross-breeding these with white Leghorns; later crossing with Araucanas caused this to have a crest and to lay blue or blue-green eggs.
