Bronzy Marachilos are in the family Erebidae and in the subfamily Herminiinae, the litter moths, so-called because the caterpillars are often found on the ground, feeding in the leaf litter.  Wagner, et al, in Owlet Caterpillars of Eastern North America calls their caterpillars \u201csecretive,\u201d and tells us that \u201cfour species [of Herminiines] have been reared from animal nests\u201d (including gopher tortoises, BugFan Tom). <\/p>\n<p>Males have feathery antennae, and females don\u2019t.  The Peterson Moth Book lists the larval food as \u201cunknown,\u201d but Wagner says they eat grasses and sedges (dead or alive) and blueberry (see Editorial Aside, above).  The \u201csnout\u201d on this and the next species is formed by prominent, fuzzy palps, structures that sit on either side of the proboscis.  They may protect the proboscis, but the scales and hairs that cover the palps (palpi) are also sensory and help the moth decide whether something is edible or not.  <\/p>\n<p>There must be a story about the name \u201cfan-foot,\u201d but even the BugLady\u2019s venerable, century-old (Dover) Holland moth book did not give it up. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"ls-img-cap\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2019\/07\/black-bndd-owlet-phalaenostola17-28rz.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>Black-Banded Owlet Moth (<em>Phalaenostola larentioides<\/em>)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>BLACK-BANDED OWELET<\/strong><br \/>\nKind of a spiffy little moth, in an understated way, the Black-banded Owlet (<em>Phalaenostola larentioides<\/em>) is also an Erebid and a litter moth, and like the Bronzy Macrochilo, it lives east of the Great Plains.

In the field, it pops up and flies like a butterfly but then darts under a leaf and folds its wings \u2013 very un-butterfly-like behavior.  Some species of Ctenucha moths are mimics of wasps and poisonous beetles, and so are left alone on flowers.  Caterpillars eat grasses, sedges, and iris, and they overwinter in the larval stage, often taking little hikes on warm, winter days.
