On conventional radiographs, typical findings of Ewing sarcoma consist of multiple confluent lytic bone lesions that have a "moth eaten" pattern due to permeative destruction of bone. [10] There will also be a displaced periosteum as the new sub-periosteal layer of bone begins to grow on top of the tumor.
Moth antennae are either filiform (thread like), unipectinate (comb like), bipectinate (feather like), hooked, clubbed, or thickened. [13]: 636 Bombyx mandarina is an example with bipectinate antennae. [17] Some moths have knobbed antennae akin to those of butterflies, such as the family Castniidae. [18]
After several days, he found that out the total 190 moths eaten by birds in the wild, 86% were the black type while only 14% were the white type. In his release-and-recapture experiment for 11 days, he used 799 moths, and his recapture rate was 13.7% for the white type, but only 4.7% for the black type.
Some moths do not feed after emerging from the pupa, and have greatly reduced, vestigial mouthparts or none at all. All but a few adult Lepidoptera lack mandibles (the superfamily known as the mandibulate moths have fully developed mandibles as adults), but also have the remaining mouthparts in the form of an elongated sucking tube, the proboscis.
While the butterflies form a monophyletic group, the moths, which comprise the rest of the Lepidoptera, do not. Many attempts have been made to group the superfamilies of the Lepidoptera into natural groups, most of which fail because one of the two groups is not monophyletic: Microlepidoptera and Macrolepidoptera, Heterocera and Rhopalocera, Jugatae and Frenatae, Monotrysia and Ditrysia.
When used in relation to the [nibbling necrosis [1] and interface necrosis [1]) refers specifically to a loss and degeneration of (limiting plate) hepatocytes at the lobular-portal-interface, producing a moth-eaten irregular appearance. [2]
An infant with hydrops-ectopic calcification-moth-eaten skeletal dysplasia showing shortened limbs. Hydrops-ectopic calcification-moth-eaten skeletal dysplasia causes the bones in a fetus to develop abnormally. This leads to a characteristic "moth eaten" appearance of the bones when viewed under an X-ray.
Psychodidae, also called drain flies, sink flies, filter flies, [2] sewer flies, or sewer gnats, is a family of true flies.Some genera have short, hairy bodies and wings, giving them a "furry" moth-like appearance, hence one of their common names, moth flies. [2]
