This genus is remarkable for the caterpillars, which in some species are able to feed on a wide range of materials that are not usually eaten by Lepidoptera larvae, such as dead insects, manure and straw. The caterpillars of other Aglossa (e.g. A. signicostalis) are myrmecophilous.[2]
Adults of the grease moth (A. cuprina) sometimes eat fats such as suet.

gollark: Having to go from the lobby to TC2020 is very annoying.
gollark: That too. It's all lit with glowstone nanoparticles.
gollark: Meanwhile, my bunker- has a forcefield entirely protecting it- has no hidden cable ducts or places to hide- ... probably can be teleported into, I haven't made any defense against that- does not really have one ultra-vulnerable point- can craft many components of itself
gollark: - There are invulnerable forcefields on some bits, but you can just dig around them- There are endless hidden cable ducts and Contingency Theta tunnels in it, so people can sneak through- You can teleport in basically everywhere- If someone gets into the control room with its unlabelled button panel, they can deploy lava, disable the generators, enable forcefields and whatnot, and there's no password or anything- There's no equipment in it which lets it replace damaged bits
gollark: Er, still is.
