  I did at the beginning, but I haven't had the energy to continue doing so. It may take me a while to catch up. I'm very stretched thin. Posted 4 years ago

    No problem, I understand and feel the same way. I'm just trying to keep up so I don't end up far behind with a moderating backload. ;P Posted 4 years ago

The Grease Moth

''Aglossa cuprina'', the grease moth, is a snout moth, family Pyralidae, described by Philipp Christoph Zeller in 1872. The grease moth is closely related to the genus ''Pyralis'', and as a result, is usually associated with the meal moth, ''Pyralis farinalis''.
