High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The unusual scavenger species Aglossa cuprina, formerly named Aglossa pinguinalis, is most commonly known as the Grease Moth or the Large Tabby Moth. It belongs to lepidopteran family, Pyralidae (the snout moths). The grease moth is closely related to the genus Pyralis, and as a result, is usually associated with the meal moth, Pyralis farinalis. Being a member of the order Lepidoptera, A. cuprina is characterized by a holometabolous life cycle and two pairs of overlapping, membranous, scaled-covered wings. It also possesses siphoning mouthparts and filiform antennae. For the past 150 years, Aglossa cuprina has been best known for ingesting the grease produced by the bacteria that feeds on decaying matter, an activity that earned it the common name of grease moth.
