Male margined green pearl moth, Parotis marginata, Crambidae
Note: The bristles at the end of the abdomen are a structure known as a hair-pencil. Hair-pencils are found on male Lepidopterans and used for pheromone signaling. The pheromones secreted from the hair-pencil glands serve as an aphrodisiac and tranquilizer for females, and sometimes as a repellent for males of the same species. The hair-pencil structure is stored inside the body until courtship begins, at which time it is everted.
